Scientists Look to Recreate Big Bang

(Nov. 5) -- Talk about a trip back in time. Scientists have always wondered what it was like at the moment of and immediately after the creation of the universe, generally known as the Big Bang. Soon, they may find out. By using the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator -- the Large Hadron Collider, or...

Large Hadron Collider Gets 'Intimate' With New Physics Experiments

(Sept. 22) -- Big news from the so-called "Big Bang machine" today: Proton beam collisions produced separate particles that flew away from one another but remained "intimately linked," according to scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), who observed the effect in the Large Hadron Collider...

Atom Smasher Smashes Energy Record

(March 19) -- From broken down to record breaking, the Large Hadron Collider -- the world's largest, most expensive particle accelerator -- just achieved yet another milestone on the quest to discover the secrets of the physical universe. Today, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN,...

Background on LHC

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) from 1998 to 2008, with the aim of allowing physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics and high-energy physics, and particularly for the existence of the hypothesized Higgs boson and of the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetry.
