According to initial plans, the Large Hadron Collider should have already produced its first scientific results by now. But, as it stands, malfunctions have delayed its operation considerably, and now experts are working around the clock on bringing the largest particle accelerator in the world back online. As repair... |

Shortly after managing to fix the helium leaks that forced engineers to shut down the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) last September, project managers discovered another fluke. This time, they identified two areas of vacuum leak, in regions of the particle accelerator that needed to be cooled near absolute zero. The new ... |

Hollywood movies have always had the talent of inspiring panic where there was usually nothing to fear, and the latest productions are no different, what with the threat of the Vatican being destroyed by antimatter generated at the Large Hadron Collider and all that. Needless to say, the script is pure fantasy, but p... |

After constructions that lasted more than a decade and billions of dollars invested in the world's largest scientific experiment, physicists who are now operating the Large Hadron Collider have just realized that they don't really know how the entire system works, in all of its details. As a result, they sa... |

According to the latest developments in Austria, the country will remain a part of the massive European physics research initiative CERN, the main operator of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Earlier this month, the nation announced that it would withdraw from the cooperation, in order to invest the money it had caug... |

Austrian science minister Johannes Hahn has recently announced that the nation would withdraw from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), seeking to reinvest the money it has caught up in the scientific project into other endeavors. The announcement comes at a very bad time, just six months before the... |

The European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) is currently trying to reassure people of the fact that it's physically impossible to create antimatter in the world's largest particle accelerator, so as to allay fears that have been growing over the past years. In Dan Brown's book, “Angels & Demo... |

The Large Hadron Collider is currently the largest particle accelerator in the world, built under the Swiss-Franc border for the staggering price of 6 billion Swiss francs ($5.2 billion). It features a 27 kilometer (17 miles)-long circular tunnel, which is used to accelerate specific beams of particles at speeds clos... |

The latest statements from CERN officials shed more light on the Large Hadron Collider glitch that happened more than one month ago, on September 19, and indicate that the device will not be fully operable sooner than May or June of next year. It seems that the electrical failure caused irreversible damage to 29 of ... |

As explained in a recent article, the Large Hadron Collider's latest malfunction was due to the leaking of a major quantity of helium from the superconducting solenoid magnet caused by the melting of an electrical connection because of the high voltage involved. Now, scientists found out that it happened as a r... |

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid is ready to start the data challenge it has been built for: 15 million Gigabytes of data from the Large Hadron Collider will be analyzed and managed every year. Through the analysis of all this amount of data produced by the hundreds of millions of subatomic collisions expected inside... |

Scientists from CERN stated on Saturday that the Large Hadron Collider may be shut down for at least 2 months, following the leak of a large quantity of helium – used in order to cool one of the proton-guiding magnets – into the collider tunnel. This is the last and the worst out of a series of unfortunat... |

Only a week after it had been started, LHC, world's biggest particle smasher, had to be stopped on Wednesday because of an electrical fault, as CERN officially announces. The recent failures of the LHC staff haven't even been forgotten yet, and a new one comes to increase the world's doubts relat... |

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is on its way to switch on the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider in August. A super-high-bandwidth network will transfer data from the Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid (LCG) to 500 institutions around the world. About 5,000 s... |

The exact opposite of matter, antimatter, has been known to exist for decades now, although how it behaves in the presence of a gravitational field remains mostly unknown even though countless experiments have been conducted over the years. Each particle described in the Standard Model has its own antiparticle counte... |

With the fitting of the last major component of what is now the worlds largest particles accelerator, the build of Large Hadron Collider has been completed. All that remains now is to connect all the smaller components of the collider, in the hope that, by the end of this year, the preliminary experiments may begin. ... |
