Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

Okay, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might have uncovered the Higgs boson and helped redefine our concept of physical ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...

For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.

The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...

Understanding why we live in a matter-dominated universe demands that scientists recreate the quark-gluon plasma that existed one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. A Large Ion Collider ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

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 ...

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...
