The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...

In effect, it’s lab-grown gold, but at billions of dollars for a few atoms, it’s unlikely to shake the gold market.

The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful accelerator offline just as its current run reaches full stride. Far from ...

Scientists have found new evidence that a pattern of “flow” observed in particles streaming ...

Mark Thomson takes the reins at the CERN particle-physics lab, which recently received $1bn in private donations for its next ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...

Could a black hole on Earth ever exist? What would happen if it did? Join Hank Green for a fascinating video about the Large ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

In a historic first for the laboratory, CERN has received $1 billion in private ...

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery: how delicate particles like deuterons and ...
