A rumor is floating around the physics community that the world's largest atom smasher may have detected a long-sought subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle." The controversial rumor is based on what appears to be a leaked internal note from physicists a... Read more...
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider managed to make two proton beams collide at high energy Tuesday, marking a "new territory" in physics, according to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The $10 billion research tool has been accelerating the beams since November in the LH... Read more...
The official choir of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (better known by its French acronym Cern) is to record a song dedicated to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is the vast physics experiment built in a 27km-long underground tunnel, which runs in a circle under the French-... Read more...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment on the French-Swiss border has set a new world record for energy. The LHC pushed the energy of its particle beams beyond one trillion electron volts, making it the world's highest-energy particle accelerator. The previous record was held by the Tevatron p...

Engineers operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have smashed together proton beams in the machine for the very first time. The step was described as a "great achievement" for those working on the huge physics experiment. The low-energy collisions came after researchers circulated two beams sim... Read more...
