This Monday marked an historic event. After one year in repairs, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator in the world, has finally began colliding beams of protons together, in its quest for the elusive Higgs boson. This is the elementary particle that, if found, will finally confirm the Sta... |

Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the group that manages the Large Hadron Collider, announced that the first proton beams had already been injected in the massive particle accelerator, and that they had completed thousands of spins in its tunnels. The 27-kilometer-long facility saw ... |

Scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are undoubtedly among some of the luckiest investigators on the planet, having been given the chance to contribute to the most advanced research experiments in the history of humankind. But, even though the particle accelerator has yet to produce concrete result... |

Next to the International Space Station (ISS), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is arguably the most complex and amazing human scientific project ever constructed. Its main goal is to recreate the conditions that existed just a few fractions of a second after the beginning of the Universe, immediately after the event ... |

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is undoubtedly the most ambitious science project ever undertaken by people. Its purpose is to look directly at the conditions that led to the formation of everything around us, and provide a firm confirmation for the Standard Model as well. But, other than the unfounded talk of black ... |

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... |

Ever since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was under construction, the Batavia, Illinois-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) began to work extra-hard on finding the elusive Higgs Boson. This elementary particle would complete and firmly prove the Standard Model in physics, which now features two cl... |

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 ... |

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... |

At this year's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Chicago, swords have been drawn. Through the voices of Director Pier Oddone, and colleague Dr. Dmitri Denisov, Fermilab announced that it could beat the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)'s Larg... |

The Large Hadron Collider, the largest high-energy physics facility in the world, has been under constant criticism for its potential effects on the planet, with doom sayers arguing that the colliding two beams of particles at 99.99 percent the speed of light, and at temperatures reaching trillions of degrees, could ... |

A TV documentary film directed by Clayton Brown and Monica Ross will be aired today on PBS, presenting the lives of the scientists from the American Fermilab laboratory in Illinois. "The Atom Smashers," as the saga movie is called, tries to reveal the real, human aspects behind the "talking heads" that are usually sh... |

10:36 am, today. The main computer screen in one of the LHC surveillance rooms displays 2 flashing dots, indicating that the last test has been successfully completed. Humankind still exists. Perhaps the most believable story about the apocalypse is the most recent one, linked to the power-up of the LHC (which w... |

As the time remaining until the first true LHC experiment passes at a snail’s pace, the physicists in charge with the whole process are threatened to be killed by people who, in turn, fear for their lives. There's little common knowledge regarding the LHC and physics in general. People generally thin... |

Researchers of the Fermilab announced recently that they have been able to produce and observe one of the rarest diboson processes, the ZZ pair, during proton-antiproton collisions inside the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Tevatron. The discovery bears significant scientific relevance, since the... |

The Large Hadron Collider is rapidly approaching completion and should become operational by the end of the year. It will become the biggest particle collider ever built, probably powerful enough to create even microscopic black holes. It has been suggested on a number of occasions, despite CERN's reassurance, t... |

"Higgs Boson" or the "God Particle", was predicted almost four decades ago by British physicist Peter Higgs as a mean to explain how fundamental particles gain mass in the space-time continuum. Higgs believes that it will be found by CERNs Large Hadron Collider, expected to become operational by the end of this year.... |

Quantum physicists think they know the answer. Probabilistic calculations reveal than the data provided by previous experiments has been miscalculated and that the Higgs boson has in fact been discovered. Weird! The Higgs boson is the only particle predicted by the Standard Model that hasn't been discovered yet.... |

Currently under construction, the Large Hadron Collider or LHC for short, is a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), near Geneva in Switzerland. It is scheduled to begin operation in May 2008 and is expected to become the world's largest and highest energ... |
