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 ...

Particles rush through a long tunnel in the Large Hadron Collider. Maximilien Brice/CERN, CC BY-SA When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics ...

Matter and antimatter should have completely wiped each other out eons ago, leaving the Universe a very empty place. Obviously that didn't happen. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may ...

Neutrinos are tiny and neutrally charged particles accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics. While they are estimated to be some of the most abundant particles in the universe, ...

The world's most massive science experiment has done it again, detecting hints of the heaviest antimatter particle ever found ...

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 ...

The vast majority of data collected at the LHC particle accelerator is automatically sorted out. Nevertheless, over an exabyte has now been archived.

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 ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have measured the mass of the W boson and found it to be in line with the Standard Model of particle physics, the overarching theory that ...

Now, after running the LHC for over 15 years, CERN has collected and stored one exabyte of experimental data from the superlative machine. To put this into perspective, a standard single-layer DVD ...
