CERN / ATLAS

(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

By Carl FranzenSep 22nd 2010 – 5:04PM

(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...

(July 26) -- Physicists responsible for the record-setting atom smasher that helped researchers move closer to understanding the origins of the universe earlier this year now say they're going to need a bigger bang. Scientists meeting in Paris today at the International Conference on High Energy Physics unveiled plans for...

CERN's LHC@home 2.0 project simulates a Large Hadron Collider in the cloud

By Lydia Leavitt Aug 09th 2011 - 04:16AM

"You break it, you bought it," came to mind when researchers at the Centre for European Nuclear Research (CERN) announced the LHC@home 2.0 project, giving us regular Joes access to the Large Hadron Collider.

Theorists get us closer to believing time travel is possible via the Large Hadron Collider

By Darren Murph Mar 19th 2011 - 03:38AM

Hard to say if Doc Brown would give this his coveted seal of approval, but our gullible minds have already been made up: time travel is not only possible, but it's well within reach.

Background on large hadron collider

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.
