The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to ...

The Large Hadron Collider has led to groundbreaking discoveries, but scientists are now focused on an even larger project—a ...

That’s what scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have been doing for years. But what have they found? And what’s next ...

CERN's ALICE experiment turned lead into gold—briefly—reviving alchemists' old dreams with modern nuclear physics.

There wasn't a lot of gold and it didn't last long, but the results are still impressive. For centuries, alchemists dreamed of turning lead into gold — not through magic, but by unlocking the hidden ...

The ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.

A lead nucleus emits an intense electromagnetic field. In near-misses, a reaction known as electromagnetic dissociation can ...

Once a lead nucleus has transformed by losing protons, it is no longer in the perfect orbit that keeps it circulating inside the vacuum beam pipe of the Large Hadron Collider. In a matter of ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to ...

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can ...
