LHC

Observing the smallest building blocks of matter doesn't involve seeing in the ordinary sense.

Have physicists at CERN found a new Higgs boson?

CERN's Large Hadron Collider is one of the few scientific experiments to sparked wide-spread media coverage, particularly with the 2012 announcement of the discovery of the long-sought Higgs boson. So what really goes on at CERN and why the hubbub about the Large Hadron Collider, known as the LHC?

Find out all about the Large Hadron Collider in this package of introductory articles.

A bump in the data from the LHC promises exciting news.

In this video theoretical physicist Ben Allanach talks about the search for dark matter at the LHC.

What is dark matter and how can the LHC find it?

Latest observations hint towards new particles.

We might have found the Higgs boson, but the search for new physics at the LHC isn't over yet.
