LHC

The Large Hadron Collider has been responsible for some of the most important breakthroughs in scientific history, most notably the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2013. New Atlas is celebrating the 10-year anniversary with a look back at its achievements and what it could help solve in the future.

Particle accelerators have plenty to teach us, but these facilities involve kilometers of tunnels and equipment. Now, researchers at Imperial College London have developed a new way to accelerate antimatter particles using common equipment already found in many labs, in a much smaller space.

After eight years of banging subatomic particles together, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is getting a major upgrade that, when it goes online in 2026, will increase the collision rates of the LHC by up to a factor of seven and allow around 10 times more data to be collected.

​Researchers at CERN have discovered a doubly charming new particle, which has long been theorized to exist. Named Ξcc++(Xicc++), the particle is the first found to contain two heavy quarks, and its confirmation should pave the way to a better understanding of the fundamental forces of physics.

A 20-month experiment conducted a mile underground has failed to detect dark matter particles directly, but the results are still giving scientists important clues on the nature of this elusive substance.

The Large Hadron Collider was knocked out of commission when a weasel stepped on the bare connections of a 66,000 volt transformer.

Fresh evidence has come to light supporting the theory that the particle detected at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 is indeed the elusive Higgs boson. The work confirms that the potential Higgs boson does exhibit the decay characteristics that would be expected under the Standard Model.

A new theoretical study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center suggests how lasers could dramatically shrink the size and cost of particle accelerators.

The largest single piece of experimental scientific apparatus is CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The LHC's ATLAS detector, one of two that discovered the Higgs boson, has a control building adorned with a magnificent mural. How it happened is a fascinating glimpse at the crossroads of art and science.

Japan is the frontrunner to host the International Linear Collider, which is intended to complement the Large Hadron Collider.

A study of 5.02 TeV proton-lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider suggest that a new form of matter is being created.

The massive boson recently discovered at CERN may or may not be the Higgs boson - we're going to try and clarify the situation for you.
