CERN considers switching Large Hadron Collider to ‘idling’ mode amid energy crisis CERN said the plans were being drawn up in case it is warned it needs to use less energy Evening Standard · Sep 7, 2022
The Conversation · Aug 3, 2022 Even scientists can’t keep up with all the newly discovered particles – our new naming scheme could help Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found in fact, that our collaboration (LHCb), which has discovered 59 out of 66 recent particles, has come up…
The Conversation · Jul 26, 2022 A new book about 12 experiments that changed the world sidelines the role of beautiful theory in physics The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience will, of necessity, be something of a distortion. The question is whether the distortion is useful: does it offer a new perspective on the history of physics? While…
The Independent UK · Jul 6, 2022 Cern physicists find evidence of three new ‘exotic’ particles as Large Hadron Collider comes back online ‘The more analyses we perform, the more kinds of exotic hadrons we find’
Mic · Jul 5, 2022 People think CERN's Large Hadron Collider will open up portals to hell The Large Hadron Collider is back online, and conspiracy theorists are worried it will invite all sorts of interdimensional evils into our world.
WEKU · Jul 5, 2022 The Large Hadron Collider will embark on a third run to uncover more cosmic secrets Ten years ago, the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle helped make sense of our universe. But in doing so, it unlocked a whole host of new questions.
