Some were disappointed at the lack of "new physics" from the LHC. Could forthcoming updates be the accelerator's redemption arc—assuming it needs one?

Machines like cyclotrons and synchrotrons help scientists recreate the conditions of the Big Bang and probe the very edges of particle physics. They also tend to be very big. Now, a new study details ...

An MIT-led team has found that data from “near-misses” at the Large Hadron Collider, long dismissed as background noise, can be mined for rare photon-photon interactions that test the boundaries of ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is back in action after a three-year scheduled technical shutdown period. Experts circulated beam in the powerful particle accelerator at the end of April, and Run 3 ...
