After years of smashing proton particles together at nearly the speed of light, Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has stopped operations and entered a long shutdown. While no particle collisions are ...

Deep inside atomic nuclei, gluons bind quarks together and help determine the structure of visible matter. A CERN study, with a University of Kansas physicist playing a leading role, has now shown ...

A University of Kansas physicist played a leading role in a CERN study showing that two rival explanations for how gluons behave inside atomic nuclei can now be experimentally distinguished.

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the machine for a more powerful future. The shutdown is not a sign of trouble so ...

It’s the end of an era for particle physicists: They just said good-bye to the famed Large Hadron Collider — in its current form, anyway. The LHC, the particle collider at the European particle ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful atom smasher, has entered a planned four-year shutdown that ...

The world’s largest particle smasher restarted Sunday after a two-year upgrade that will allow physicists to explore uncharted corners of what makes up the universe, including dark matter and ...

Scientists led by the University of Manchester have identified a new, heavy doubly-charmed relative of the proton. This discovery was thanks to the use of the upgraded Large Hadron Collider at CERN ...

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery: how delicate particles like deuterons and ...

The CMS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. (CERN) For years, strange signals have been emerging from inside the Large Hadron Collider. Physicists call them UFOs – not extraterrestrial aircraft, ...
