A mouse-shaped robot designed for inspecting the collider infrastructure at CERN has been developed by a team of engineers from the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) robotics center, RACE (Remote ...

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 ...

A new robot developed by British and European researchers aims to solve that problem by travelling through the collider’s internal pipes and identifying faults before they halt scientific work, ...

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 ...

For these physicists at CU Boulder, searching for the unknown is a matter of speed. Over the last decade, researchers on campus, including dozens of graduate and undergraduate students, have taken ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter. Collisions inside the 27‑kilometer ring have produced what researchers ...
