Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

A particle accelerator sounds like it’d be something straight from a science-fiction novel, largely because most of us don’t really quite understand how they work and also because they do have a place ...

This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of a prototype accelerator-on-a-chip. The segment shown here are one-tenth the width of a human. The oddly shaped gray structures are ...
