A new specialized, radiation-hardened chip has been designed for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) upgrade. Engineers at Columbia University have developed this analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chip ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and other new nuclei. As a small child, physicist Chiara Oppedisano read the ...

New research using a decommissioned section of the beam pipe from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has bought scientists closer than ever before to test whether magnetic monopoles exist.

An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high ...

The CMS collaboration have used advanced machine learning techniques to search for new particles in jets produced by proton-proton collisions at the LHC A proton-proton collision producing multiple ...

The topics in this series were developed by New Scientist in association with the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney. This article was paid for by MAAS and commissioned and edited ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on — but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known ...

Surprising readings from December just won't go away -- and unlike the LHC's last big particle, this one would upset physics rather than confirming it. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...
