China's Circular Electron Positron Collider was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

As of 1 January 2026, Raimond Snellings will join the CERN Council as a representative of the Netherlands. The Council is the highest decision-making body of the world’s largest particle physics ...

Scientists recently fired up the world's smallest particle accelerator for the first time. The tiny technological triumph, which is around the size of a small coin, could open the door to a wide range ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...
