CERN to Build Larger Hadron Collider
The European Organization for Nuclear Research – known as CERN – has announced plans to build an even bigger Large Hadron Collider. The LHC 2.0 – or Larger Hadron Collider, if you will – has entered the planning stage and could measure up to four times the length of its predecessor. What is…

Large Hadron Collider Discovers Five New Particles
In the eight years since it began operating, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland has changed the landscape of particle physics. The LHC has already proven the existence of the fabled Higgs boson – long dubbed the “God particle” – and the creation of a miniature black…

Large Hadron Collider Taken Offline by Weasel!
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator and now this vast and complex piece of scientific equipment has been forced to shut down due to a weasel. Unfortunately for the weasel, it didn’t survive its encounter with the LHC as it interfered with one…

Large Hadron Collider Detects Boson Particle Heavier than Higgs
Experiments conducted by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) over the past three years may have detected a new elementary boson particle that is denser than the famed Higgs boson. CMS and ATLAS physicists working at the LHC at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, recorded a pair of photons during a…

Large Hadron Collider Days Away from Making Contact with a Parallel Universe
Following its impressive findings regarding the Higgs Boson particle and dark matter, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Cern, Switzerland is on the verge of smashing its way into another dimension. Should the project prove the existence of parallel universes – which could happen within the next few days –…

The Large Hadron Collider Is Back Online and Even More Powerful
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is back online and firing test collision-free proton beams after being offline for the last two years while it was being upgraded. Over the next few months, the LHC will be going through tests and will get back to smashing protons. The upgrade has given the…

Large Hadron Collider Scientists Hope to Find Parallel Universe this Week
The Large Hadron Collider, also known as the ‘atom smasher’, at the CERN centre in Switzerland will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect, or even create, miniature black holes. If the scientists are successful in their experiments then a completely new universe…

Nobel Prize In Physics For Higgs Boson Scientists
One of the greatest scientific experiments to have ever been undertaken has captured the imagination of millions around the world over the last few decades, the search for the Higgs Boson (often wrongly referred to as the God Particle). This ranged from people who wanted a deeper understanding of how…
