Scientists used high-energy heavy ion collisions to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. They demonstrated the new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have successfully transmuted lead into gold — not by alchemy, but by smashing heavy ions together at nearly the speed of light. The process, ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, reveals how the primordial ...

As people around the country await the April 8 total eclipse, conspiracy theories about a Switzerland-based nuclear research facility have some social media users on edge. In their view is CERN, also ...

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...
