CERN’s plan for 100-km collider makes the LHC look like a Hula Hoop
The Large Hadron Collider has produced a great deal of incredible science, most famously the Higgs Boson — but physicists at CERN, the international organization behind the LHC, are already…
Particle physics gets the machine learning treatment as collider data multiplies
The volume of data particle physicists have to sort through at the Large Hadron Collider is staggering, and it’s about to increase by an order of magnitude. To cope with…
Physicists at MIT have developed and released a $100 muon detector that you can build at home, allowing you to sense deep space bombardment on something that looks like a…
How do things work? To find out, we observe them and we take them apart. But not everything is easily observed, and until recently some things couldn’t be taken apart.
5 years after the Higgs boson, the Large Hadron Collider is just getting started
It’s been five years since physicists at CERN reported that they had observed a particle “consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson.” The discovery capped decades of theory and was an…
CERN releases 300TB of Large Hadron Collider data into open access
Cancel your plans for this weekend! CERN just dropped 300 terabytes of hot collider data on the world and you know you want to take a look.
Here’s What The Large Hadron Collider Looks Like Through Google Glass
If Google is worried about Google Glass being too “nerdy”, they probably wouldn’t be sending people rockin’ the Glass into the heart of the most gloriously nerdy thing in the…
Scientists Have Created ‘Mini Big Bangs’ With The Large Hadron Collider
Did your bed shake you awake morning? That’s because scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider have created a series of “mini Big Bangs” in order to better understand how…
Breaking: Large Hadron Collider shut down by precision bird strike
The LHC is recovering from a serious overheating problem, caused by a piece of stale bread dropped by a bird onto an apparently unprotected thermal vent. Impossible, you say? Not…
End of the world delayed while Large Hadron Collider cooling problem fixed, smashing to resume next week
When it comes to running a gigantic machine capable of ripping a hole in the space-time continuum that could suck the entire earth (and more) into oblivion, it’s probably safe…
According to InternetNews.com, the Large Hadron Collider project that we’ve been hearing so much about runs a customized version of Linux called CernVM. Apparently it ran Vista at first, but…
The eight billion dollar LHC didn’t destroy the world last night – that’s good – so here is a great photo set that shows off the fantastic 17-mile long collider.
Well it looks like a world-ending black hole wasn’t formed at the site of the Large Hadron Collider and that we will, in fact, be putting in a full day…
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider will be activated this Wednesday. The LHC is a 17-mile long underground tunnel near Geneva that houses the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. Scientists use all…
