The Large Hadron Collider, which opened in 2008, is the only place in the world where the Higgs boson can be produced and studied in detail. The third run got successfully underway at 10.47 a.m ...

It's been five years since physicists at CERN reported that they had observed a particle "consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson." The discovery capped decades of theory and was an important ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun its first-ever collisions of oxygen ions, in the latest attempt to understand the ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

During the Large Hadron Collider Physics Conference recently held in Belgrade, CERN scientists announced what they think is the first evidence of a rare process through which a Higgs particle ...

But when the LHC was first fired up in 2008, there were hopes beyond just discovering the Higgs boson, which mostly just answered an obscure question about matter that few laypeople had ever ...

The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t seen any new particles since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it.

This powerful particle accelerator is known as the Large Hadron Collider. It’s where some of modern physics’ most significant discoveries have been made, including the 2012 identification of the Higgs ...

In 2013, for example, LHC experiments helped to finally complete the Standard Model of Physics after confirming the existence of the Higgs boson aka “God particle.” ...

This proposed successor to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would be a nearly 56.5-mile (91-kilometre) loop, dwarfing the LHC and even venturing beneath Lake Geneva along the French-Swiss border.

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research’s (Cern) Large Hadron Collider (LHC), will complete its mission around 2040, and experts are looking at what could replace it.
