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 ... |

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 India-based Neutrino Observatory is a proposed particle-physics facility, to be constructed in a 1,300-meter (4,265-foot) -deep cave under Ino Peak, near Masinagudi, Tamil Nadu, in India. The project is one of the largest experiments in the country, and it is especially designed to be able to measure the properti... |

It was only last night that I finished reading Victor J. Stenger's new book, “Quantum Gods: Creation, Chaos and the Search for Cosmic Consciousness,” and, boy, I can tell you for sure that my understanding of quantum physics was a bit off before. In fact, it was not necessarily wrong, as it was featu... |

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... |

The Large Hadron Collider is the largest scientific experiment ever built by human hands and, as such, is the structure scientists expect most from. Among the possible outcomes of LHC experiments, the most important ones include the discovery of the Higgs boson (God's particle), the creation of anti-matter, the ... |

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... |
