Several centuries ago, a branch of alchemy called chrysopoeia is said to have explored the possibilities of transforming widely available base metals into precious metals. Early practitioners never ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the machine for a more powerful future. The shutdown is not a sign of trouble so ...

The letters “www” are typically followed by a “dot” — but not in this experiment. Around 270 WWW events, trios of particles called W bosons, appeared in an experiment at the world’s largest particle ...

Former UCSC graduate student Jessica Metcalfe takes a rest on the temporary catwalk inside the ATLAS cryostat at CERN, where she was installing cables to be connected to the detector’s inner tracker.

New, precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider. By Roger Jones / The Conversation Published May 9, 2022 ...

Surprising readings from December just won't go away -- and unlike the LHC's last big particle, this one would upset physics rather than confirming it. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

Nathan Whitehorn was not in a good place. It was 2012 and he had just finished his PhD analyzing data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. He'd been trying to find neutrinos (weakly ...
