Ten years ago, scientists were able to discover the Higgs Boson particle and help make sense of the universe using the Large Hadron Collider. They did it again in 2018, unlocking new insights on ...

The great high-energy write-off. When a distinguished panel of scientists led by Stanford University physicist Stanley Wojcicki was assessing the future of US high-energy physics in 1983, Fermilab ...

Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second.

Zardoshti leads me inside, past a control room that wouldn’t look out of place in a moon-landing documentary, ... Once they’re ready, the shorter collider unloads them into the longer one.

For centuries, great thinkers of the Greco-Roman, Islamic, Medieval, and even early Enlightenment worlds investigated the possibilities of alchemy—the process of transforming base metals (i.e ...

The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) remains one of the pinnacles of scientific and technological innovation, but physicists believe there’s room for improvement. And after years of research and ...

In a breakthrough that would make medieval alchemists envious, scientists at Europe's Large Hadron Collider have successfully transformed lead into gold, producing 89,000 atoms per second.

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) CERN wants to build a new particle collider which will smash protons together at roughly 6 times the energies seen at the Large Hadron Collider.This project is likely to cost ...

Medieval alchemists toiled unsuccessfully to change lead into gold, but physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had better luck – though for only a microsecond. Instead of alchemy ...

A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks -- the heaviest known fundamental particles -- it regularly creates a property known as magic.
