In 2008, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will come into operation at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. The highest-energy accelerator ever built, it heralds a new era in particle-physics research ...

Imagine having the opportunity to turn a wrench on the Space Shuttle or the Large Hadron Collider (LHC ... understanding of the universe around us. Or at least, that’s what we assume ...

Buried beneath the French-Swiss border, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC ... Tiny particles accelerate around it until they smash into each other. These collisions produce bursts of new particles ...

Work has begun on a major upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC ... of magnets to steer two beams of proton particles around a 27km-long circular tunnel located 100m underground.

An curved arrow pointing right. The Large Hadron Collider is back in action at the CERN laboratory after receiving a big upgrade in the time since its last run in 2012. The particle collider is ...

This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle ... the "primordial soup" of matter that filled the universe around one-millionth of a second after the Big Bang.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has successfully approached a proton collision point for the first ... The LHC accelerates two beams of protons to nearly the speed of light and brings these beams, ...

Professor Chris Parkes recently completed his term as leader of the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment. LHCb is one of the four large experiments at CERN’s 27km Large Hadron Collider, the ...

The LHC will generate huge amounts of data, with nearly 150 million sensors picking up information from millions of particle collisions every second at the centre of each of the four main detectors.

CERN has elected to shut down the Large Hadron Collider early to save electricity ... physics has high energy requirements. CERN draws around 200 megawatts during peak consumption periods ...

The mind-bending experiments taking place in particle accelerators around the world, including the Large Hadron Collider. Quarks, munons, bosons, and dark matter galore. By Andrew Paul By Andrew ...
