Scientists at CERN are racing to fire up a detector that will explore the effects of gravity on antimatter—before the whole facility shuts down for two years
Shrinking a particle accelerator to the chip scale could have huge ramifications for cancer treatment and fundamental science
Terahertz pulses could help compact devices out-accelerate building-size machines
The particle accelerator is shutting down for repairs and upgrades that will finally let it run at top speed
Two detectors at the Large Hadron Collider have found evidence of the last piece of the standard model of particle physics

A multi-national project to build a particle accelerator aims to encourage science and peace
In Jordan, a particle accelerator struggles to create a photon beam
My God, it's full of stars. Tonight at 8 pm on the History Channel, Johns Hopkins University theoretical physicist David Kaplan hosts a program that will explain the significance of the Large Hadron Collider, which is the largest particle physics experiment in history and after twenty-some years of design and construction is finally ready to be fired up tomorrow. The show is called "The Next Big Bang." Later today I'll also be posting a video about the LHC (albeit with considerably lower production values and a less hyperbolic title). I was at CERN in July …
