Deep in the heart of the matter, some numbers don't add up. For example, while protons and neutrons are made of quarks, nature's fundamental building blocks bound together by gluons, their masses are ...

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds after the Big Bang and, in the process, knocked lead atoms into becoming ...

For Alan Barr, it started during the covid-19 lockdowns. “I had a bit more time. I could sit and think,” he says. He had enjoyed being part of the success at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near ...

Run-2 for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--the world's largest and most powerful particle collider--began April 5 at CERN, the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research. In preparation, Thomas M.

After more than 25 years of preparation, the huge particle accelerator outside Geneva went on line in 2008, as scientists attempted to re-create the conditions produced by the Big Bang. Twenty member ...
