The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

Europe's top physics lab CERN launches its newest particle accelerator, billed as a key step towards future experiments that could unlock the universe's greatest mysteries.

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) operates as one of the world’s premier high-intensity proton accelerator facilities. Designed to deliver beams with energies up to 3 GeV, J-PARC ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation. Despite the fact that accelerator operators are essential to keeping an accelerator laboratory afloat ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...
