In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally ...

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 ...

For centuries, great thinkers of the Greco-Roman, Islamic, Medieval, and even early Enlightenment worlds investigated the possibilities of alchemy—the process of transforming base metals (i.e. lead) ...

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.

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...

The beam dynamics of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) underpin its ability to push the frontiers of high-energy physics by maintaining intensely focused particle streams and ensuring their safe, stable ...

Mini Museum sells all manner of cool collectibles, from T. Rex teeth and tiny bits from space shuttles to a section of cable from the Brooklyn Bridge. The IC chip from the CRAY-1 from Mini Museum is ...

Micháel McCormick ’s poems and short stories have appeared in more than 80 journals and anthologies. He holds a degree in mathematics and takes inspiration from math and science for much of his work.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a pinnacle of high-energy physics research, where colliding proton beams at unprecedented energies have propelled exploration into the subatomic realm.
