Physicists at the world’s largest atom collider have observed three new exotic particles as they continue to search for clues about the mysterious forces that bind subatomic particles together, they ...

The ginormous circular machine with a tunnel circumference of 27km has sat dormant for the past two years while technicians and scientists worked to make alterations to the system. The upgrades will ...

Medieval alchemists were obsessed with the idea of turning lead into gold, a concept known as chrysopoeia. But they may have had more luck swapping out the philosopher's stone for a particle ...

The world's largest particle smasher restarted Sunday after a two-year upgrade that will allow physicists to explore uncharted corners of what makes up the universe, including dark matter and ...

The world's largest atom smasher has been upping its game ever since it opened in 2008. Just last week it reached a new milestone – the particle accelerator is now smashing unprecedented numbers of ...

After being down for more than a year for repairs, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is running again. Physicist Drew Baden explains what went wrong with the Collider, how it was fixed, and what ...

A rare particle containing equal parts weird antimatter and normal matter has popped up in experiments at the world's largest particle accelerator. Scientists recently observed new behavior of this ...

The world's largest particle collider being completed on the French-Swiss border is set for its first test in November. But scientists are already looking at building the next big particle-smashing ...
