There have been squabbles of course, but the science project in Geneva is an example of putting differences aside to pursue common goals.
Researchers working on the LHC have been struggling to find new particles lately. But the latest results suggest things may be about to change.
While we know that dark matter exists, we have no idea what it is. Luckily, there is no shortage of suggestions.
A cubic kilometer of clear, stable ice could help physicists answer big questions about cosmic rays and neutrinos. Hardy scientists collect data via a unique telescope at the frozen bottom of the world.
We talk about mass all the time but what is it that actually gives an object mass? And why do some things have mass and others have no mass at all?
One of tiniest particles in physics has won the biggest prize in science – for the fourth time.
The latest data from the particle accelerator that found the Higgs Boson has confirmed another of our theories about how the universe works.
Running the world’s largest particle accelerator requires a lot of energy, but it could reveal the secrets of the universe.
The restart of experiments at CERN’s Large Hardron Collider could mark the start of a new era of discovery or a big disappointment.
CERN’s huge particle accelerator has been switched back on after a two-year upgrade to continue its search for answers.
How a long dead mathematician called Maxwell can speed up your internet.
Sound waves are made of particles called phonons. New research shows they’re affected by magnetic fields, with researchers able to steer heat magnetically.
Subatomic particles have shaped and continue to shape our universe but despite perfect predictions by physicists, the theory about unseen particles is still wrong.
For less than the cost of a single Typhoon jetfighter, the upgraded LHC will push our understanding of physics to the brink.
Ticking off subatomic particles one by one, now let’s see what an LHC upgrade will do.
It’s time we embraced quantum mechanics and stopped trying to explain away its weirdness.
The Large Hadron Collider is ramping up to probe even deeper into the fundamental constituents of matter.
The evolution of particle breakdown in railway ballast – the crushed rock under railway tracks to absorb the weight of trains…
Since the spectacular discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the gigantic particle accelerator outside Geneva, have suffered a bit of a drought when it comes…
