On July 4, 2012, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced with great fanfare that they had successfully detected the Higgs boson, the manifestation of the mechanism that ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can now chalk up one more use, alongside discovering the Higgs boson and other subatomic particles: heating French homes. With the new thermal recycling system ...

A new heat exchange system between the LHC and the French town of Ferney-Voltaire is directing waste heat energy from CERN's accelerator to warm thousands of homes and businesses.

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily ...

Imagine a particle so elusive, so rare, that it's difficult even to catch a glimpse of it. That's the challenge researchers face when they try to study the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle—also ...
