The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing ...

After several years of reflection and international collaboration, CERN has just completed a major study: can we build a new ...

Europe's CERN laboratory said on Monday that a detailed analysis revealed no technical obstacles to building the world's biggest particle collider, even as critics took issue with the "pharaonic" ...

The even larger project is the Future Circular Collider. The 56-mile-long (91-kilometer) project has not yet gotten the green light or (arguably more importantly) funding, and even if it does, the ...

With an average depth of 200 meters (660 feet), the tunnel would accommodate a particle accelerator that would be more than three times the length of CERN's existing Large Hadron Collider ...

at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular particle accelerator is built to push the frontiers of ...

At nearly 56.5 miles across, the FCC would be more than three times the LHC’s size while including eight surface laboratory sites overseeing four ongoing experiments. The tunnel itself would be about ...

Hannah Jefferies, Head of Research Communications in External Relations, writes about her visit to the European Organisation ...

such as building a linear accelerator around 50 kilometers long instead of a new ring. The FCC as an electron-positron collider could be ready by the early 2040s. CERN estimates the costs over the ...
