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 ...

Deep beneath the serene landscape straddling the border of France and Switzerland, a marvel of modern science and engineering lies in wait. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a massive particle ...

Neutrinos are some of the most enigmatic particles in all of physics. Sporting a neutral charge and a mass close to zero, neutrinos rarely interact with other matter and as such have been notoriously ...

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its associated experiments undergo an annual, multi-week reset and calibration procedure following a winter hibernation period, essential for accurate data ...
