The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...
The Collider Staff is a diverse collection of talented writers who bring a wealth of experience, thoughtfulness, and knowledge to their analysis of entertainment. Whether you want a searing hot take ...
Ninety million times a year, when protons crash together at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they produce, in their wreckage, a top quark and an anti-top quark, the heaviest known elementary particles ...
Hypothetical particles called axions have been sought by physicists for decades, as they are the leading candidate for what makes up dark matter. But we may not need new experiments to find exotic ...
In June 2023, Yum Brands chief executive officer David Gibbs said the company’s Collider Lab, a consulting firm that provides “culture-based consumer insights,” has been a “proven game changer.” ...

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem ...
WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...
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. The world’s largest ...
Medieval alchemists dreamed of transmuting lead into gold. Today, we know that lead and gold are different elements, and no amount of chemistry can turn one into the other. But our modern knowledge ...
Fulfilling the dream of medieval alchemists, physicists have observed the transmutation of lead into gold—through nuclear physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle ...
