At 5:15 pm yesterday evening, October 30, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) conducted its last proton collisions for 2011. The announcement was made yesterday by officials at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which manages the lab.
In total, the LHC ran proton collisions for exactly 180 days this... |

A couple of weeks ago, researchers working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced the discovery of tantalizing clues that may indicate the Higgs boson. Physicists from around the world are now looking through the new data, hoping to confirm or infirm the discoveries. The announcement was made at a meeting of th... |

While conducting collisions at the Tevatron, physicists from Fermilab discovered what could very well be a new elementary particle. Interestingly, the existence of this particle was not predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The discovery was made as experts at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory,... |

Investigators working in Europe, at the world's largest particle accelerator, say that they are zeroing in on the source of dark matter, the mysterious stuff believed to make up 23 percent of the mass of the Universe, but which is apparently impossible to detect.
Physicists have had a much better year than o... |

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 ... |

Astrophysicists believe that the new experiments that will be facilitated by the Large Hadron Collider once it's repaired will finally offer them a glimpse at and, why not, a confirmation of the fact that supersymmetry exists. This concept refers to the fact that subatomic particles, as described in the Standard... |

The long expected CERN Large Hadron Collider will become operational somewhere this spring, and physicists all around the world can hardly wait to see what new discoveries it will bring. For example, whether the LHC accelerating particles towards each other at speeds close to that of light are able to prove the super... |
