Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland lies the Large Hadron Collider, the most complex machine on Earth. This ...

Fulfilling the dream of medieval alchemists, physicists have observed the transmutation of lead into gold—through nuclear physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle ...

In a recent experiment, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN produced particles believed to have only existed in the moments following the Big Bang. This remarkable achievement offers valuable ...

The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been realized by physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), who have turned lead into gold — albeit for only a fraction of a second and at ...

For these physicists at CU Boulder, searching for the unknown is a matter of speed. Over the last decade, researchers on campus, including dozens of graduate and undergraduate students, have taken ...

At the Large Hadron Collider, scientists from the University of Kansas achieved a fleeting form of modern-day alchemy — turning lead into gold for just a fraction of a second. Using ultra-peripheral ...

One of the ultimate goals of medieval alchemy has been realized, but only for a fraction of a second. Scientists with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, were able to ...

There wasn't a lot of gold and it didn't last long, but the results are still impressive. For centuries, alchemists dreamed of turning lead into gold — not through magic, but by unlocking the hidden ...

Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second. The world’s largest ...

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem ...

Hypothetical particles called axions have been sought by physicists for decades, as they are the leading candidate for what makes up dark matter. But we may not need new experiments to find exotic ...
