Since inaugural operations began in 2008, the LHC has allowed researchers to probe some of the universe’s most profound and mysterious forces. But investigating the deepest questions of modern physics ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a pinnacle of high-energy physics research, where colliding proton beams at unprecedented energies have propelled exploration into the subatomic realm.

Several centuries ago, a branch of alchemy called chrysopoeia is said to have explored the possibilities of transforming widely available base metals into precious metals. Early practitioners never ...

The letters “www” are typically followed by a “dot” — but not in this experiment. Around 270 WWW events, trios of particles called W bosons, appeared in an experiment at the world’s largest particle ...

Energy prices have been in the news more often than not lately, as has war. The two typically go together, as conflicts tend to impact on the supply and trade of fossil fuels. With Europe short on gas ...
