Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

Physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered a new subatomic particle called the Ξcc⁺, a heavy cousin of the proton built from two charm quarks and one ...

Scientists at CERN have made a massive achievement after they began powering a 312-foot ...

I visited CERN to tour the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is located 100 meters beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The facility boasts a 27 km long tunnel that is colder and emptier than outer space. In ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

On 20 April 2026, another important milestone was reached for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HiLumi LHC) project, with the start of the ...

The group in charge of the Large Hadron Collider have pushed the giant physics experiment's startup back another six months to the end of September. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, ...
