A 3.7 centimetre-wide robot has been designed to travel along the 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider to allow remote inspections of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. CERN, the European ...

The topics in this series were developed by New Scientist in association with the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney. This article was paid for by MAAS and commissioned and edited ...

Mark Thomson has taken the reins at CERN just as particle physics confronts some of its deepest unknowns – and faces hard ...

A new robot developed by British and European researchers aims to solve that problem by travelling through the collider’s internal pipes and identifying faults before they halt scientific work, ...

The LHC will enter a four-year “intensive work period” to “transform the LHC into the [High-Luminosity] LHC,” according to The European Organization for Nuclear Research (aka CERN). The upgraded ...

Scientists led by the University of Manchester have identified a new, heavy doubly-charmed relative of the proton. This discovery was thanks to the use of the upgraded Large Hadron Collider at CERN ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the Ξ cc ⁺ ...
