The original hope of many was that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN — the most powerful particle accelerator in human history — would reveal not only the Higgs boson, but some clues ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

The Standard Model of particle physics stands its ground again. As the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) embarks on its second run, a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature combines data ...

A new study proposes that discovering a single exotic particle at the LHC could falsify string theory as we know it.

W hen studying the smallest particles that make up our world, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is quite possibly the best place to do it. During an experiment called NA62, researchers were able ...
