Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

Scientists have analyzed data gathered from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to advance our understanding of why anything exists.… That existential statement is necessary because scientists think that the ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, are celebrating after achieving another world first today — proton collisions at 7 trillion electron volts (TeV). This significant ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a ...

As upgrades enable the LHC to produce more and more particle collisions, physicists are using machine learning to keep up with the growing task of sorting through everything. In 2010, Mike Williams ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

This video looks at how Big Data is handled from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC produces millions of collisions every second in each detector, generating approximately one petabyte of data ...
