The world’s most powerful particle accelerator has shattered every previous record, marking a pivotal moment for scientific exploration. In 2025, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generated more ...

Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell ...

At a time of high anxiety around technology’s impact on arts and culture, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts’ Collider Fellowship is focused on new opportunities, welcoming multidisciplinary ...

After a decade of construction, the new-and-improved super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) is officially ready for science as it passes a key “standard candle” ...

Earlier in May this year, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detected the creation of gold nuclei inside the world’s largest atom smasher. The team at the ALICE detector at the LHC, ...

Iris van Herpen has an on-going collaboration with CERN. The Dutch fashion designer’s latest project, with photographer Nick Knight, takes place in the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, which is maybe ...

The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, ...

Monash University provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation AU. Medieval alchemists dreamed of transmuting lead into gold. Today, we know that lead and gold are different elements, ...

One of the ultimate goals of medieval alchemy has been realized, but only for a fraction of a second. Scientists with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, were able to ...

The world's largest particle collider produces roughly 89,000 gold nuclei every second, all from smashing lead atoms together at near-light-speed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

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 ...
