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 ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...

Dark matter is notoriously antisocial, refusing to interact with light and "normal" matter, making it effectively invisible. But what scientists aren't sure about is if dark matter interacts with ...

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

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have successfully transmuted lead into gold — not by alchemy, but by smashing heavy ions together at nearly the speed of light. The process, ...

We're getting closer to full power: For the first time in two years, after significant upgrades and repairs, the Large Hadron Collider is now delivering proton-to-proton collisions for four of CERN's ...

CERN, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research, restarted its Large Hadron Collider after a regular winter stop for maintenance. CERN is not reactivating the accelerator in connection with ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have helped measure the elusive top quark with unparalleled precision, and the surprising results affect everything from the Higgs boson, nicknamed the ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator has reshaped the global race ...
