The accelerators that feed into the Large Hadron Collider are ready to supply more intense beams

More than 350 participants from over 40 countries met at CERN to discuss the future of open science

TIME has chosen the LHC as one of the 25 most iconic inventions from the past 25 years

From the first colour X-rays to detecting forgeries in the art world, semiconductor chips based on those originally designed for particle physics experiments continue to impact society in new and unexpected ways thanks to CERN’s Medipix collaborations

The completion of the Physics Briefing Book on 2 October marks a major milestone towards the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial

A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical calculations are needed to determine whether new physics is at play

The first high-energy collisions between light nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and offer up a new tool to study the extreme state of matter produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang
