Large Hadron Collider News
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. It is a 27-kilometer (17-mile) ring-shaped tunnel that accelerates particles to nearly the speed of light and then collides them with each other. The collisions produce high-energy subatomic particles that can be studied by scientists to better understand the fundamental laws of nature.
The LHC has been a major focus of particle physics research since it began operation in 2008. It has made numerous groundbreaking discoveries, including the detection of the Higgs boson, a particle that is believed to give other particles mass. The LHC is also used to search for new particles and study the properties of matter and antimatter.
Find the latest news and breakthroughs in particle physics research conducted at the LHC by scientists from around the world, right here on SciTechDaily.com. Whether it’s updates on the search for new particles, insights into the nature of dark matter, or the latest results from experimental collaborations, you can read about it here.
