CERN shuts down the Large Hadron Collider for four years to prepare a major upgrade that could transform particle physics.

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

Particle accelerators are among the most intricate scientific instruments ever devised. With millions of sensors and thousands of subsystems at risk of failure, these accelerators' human operators ...

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 ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive research sites. In this case, the light produced fell in the extreme ...

After more than two decades of searching, scientists have finally observed a phenomenon in a hot and dense particle 'soup' ...
