Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

The world's largest particle accelerator has powered down. CERN has switched off the Large Hadron Collider to begin Long ...

It begins on Canada’s West Coast, but it leads, ultimately, to the world’s biggest physics experiment, the Large Hadron ...

And no, they didn’t shut down ‘cuz it was gonna create a black hole. LHC will be replaced with an upgrade—HiLumi LHC.

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. Particle accelerators are best known for colliding ...

Scientists have applied a promising new method to search for dark matter particles in a particle accelerator. The method is based on the observation of the spin polarization of a particle beam in a ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Cluster satellites have discovered that cosmic particle accelerators are more efficient than previously thought. The discovery has revealed the initial stages of ...

Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research ...

Head to Switzerland for a tour of CERN, the world’s largest particle physics research laboratory, to discover the secrets of the universe.
