Physicists at the University of Oxford have helped confirm that one of the strangest phenomena in physics—quantum ...

Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...

Every second, particles zip through your body at nearly the speed of light. They rain down from a storm high in the sky, ...

Ever since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have wanted to build new particle colliders to better understand the properties of that elusive particle and probe elementary particle ...

Some were disappointed at the lack of "new physics" from the LHC. Could forthcoming updates be the accelerator's redemption arc—assuming it needs one?

There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited economics. Since size is equivalent to energy output for particle colliders, ...
