CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is back online, bringing with it the possibility of new physics, a taster for a major upgrade that will be completed in 2029.

What mysteries of the universe could the worlds largest and most powerful particle accelerator unlock?

Ideas from beyond the standard model of particle physics, including technicolor and glueball Higgs particles, could explain the recent shock finding that the W boson is heavier than we thought

The Large Hadron Collider made history in 2012 by discovering the Higgs boson, now as it restarts, the search begins for new physics. The Large Hadron Collider made history in 2012 by discovering the Higgs boson, now as it restarts, the search begins for new physics.

A community of 1,600 scientists from around the world will use the accelerator to study how the universe formed.

The world of particle physics has been on shaky ground lately. For years, researchers have been scrutinizing particles to make sure that the rules we use to explain the Universe hold up – with troublingly inconsistent results.

Long-awaited boosts to the world’s most powerful collider could spur breakthroughs in the hunt for physics beyond the Standard Model

Europes Large Hadron Collider has started up its proton beams again at unprecedented energy levels after going through a three-year shutdown for maintenance and upgrades.

Physicists – unlike politicians – don’t cling to theories that have been proven to be wrong, catastrophic and destructive. If the evidence does not support their theories, they simply discard them.
