An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by using a powerful technique that's been decades in the making, known as the ...

In the very early, very hot moments of the universe, the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces were actually the same force—the electroweak interaction. Scientists can now study this interaction ...

Since inaugural operations began in 2008, the LHC has allowed researchers to probe some of the universe’s most profound and mysterious forces. But investigating the deepest questions of modern physics ...

Planning is well underway for the successor to the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). LHC operators at CERN revealed the results of a "midterm review" of ...

China is set to venture into the complex world of particle physics with the construction of the Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF), a groundbreaking particle collider that will delve deep into the ...

The BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider II (BEPCII) has recently marked a significant achievement. It has made the first measurements of the quantum numbers of the X(2370) ...

The Large Hadron Collider has been responsible for astounding advances in physics: the discovery of the elusive, long-sought Higgs boson as well as other new exotic particles, possible hints of new ...
