Large Hadron Collider firing up to test origins of dark matter
2015-03-11 18:22:15| Extremetech
The Large Hadron Collider will soon power up to test a new theory: whether dark matter originates from the Higgs Boson.
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider discover two new supermassive particles
2014-11-20 12:57:54| Extremetech
Clearly, we still have a lot more to learn about the universe: The Large Hadron Collider, famed for its discovery of the Higgs boson, has discovered two new subatomic particles. Known as Xi_b'- and Xi_b*-, the two particles had previously been predicted to exist by the formidable hypothesizing powers of particle physicists, and now they have been observed and confirmed by CERN's LHCb team.

Large Hadron Collider discovers a new type of matter: Exotic hadrons
2014-04-09 17:32:31| Extremetech
Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered, with “overwhelming” certainty, the existence of a new class of subatomic particles, exotic hadrons. In related news, CERN has begun the painstaking process of turning the LHC back on after being switched off for upgrades over the last 12 months. When it returns, in early 2015, the…

A physicist is gathering supporters for an ATLAS experiment Lego mini model that could put a piece of the Large Hadron Collider in the hands of Lego fans everywhere. [Read more]
New 19-mile-long International Linear Collider will investigate the Higgs boson, dark energy, multiple dimensions
2013-06-13 12:37:31| Extremetech
The new 31-kilometer (19.2 mi) International Linear Collider (ILC) is finally ready for construction, according to CERN and the Linear Collider Collaboration. The ILC will initially augment the LHC's attempt to identify and characterize the Higgs boson, but in the future it could investigate new areas such as supersymmetry, dark matter and energy, and superstring theory, significantly advancing our knowledge of the universe.
