Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield acceleration ...

Geneva (AFP) – The next head of Europe's CERN physics laboratory said Thursday that he favoured moving forward with plans for a giant particle collider far more powerful than the collider that ...

The decision not to include a proposed next-generation particle collider in China's latest development plan is a setback for the project, but not a fatal blow, according to senior scientists. A team ...

Europe's physics lab CERN is planning to build a particle-smasher even bigger than its Large Hadron Collider to continue searching for answers to some of the universe's tiniest yet most profound ...

GENEVA – The next head of Europe’s Cern physics laboratory said on Nov 7 he favoured moving forward with plans for a giant particle collider that would dwarf the facility that discovered the famous ...

The world's largest scientific machine has cost $10 billion, has worked only nine days and has yet to smash an atom. The unique equipment in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) circular tunnel with ...

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.

For decades, scientists have been puzzled as to why there is not as much "antimatter" in the universe as expected. The latest observations made with a machine called the Large Hadron Collider particle ...
