A calculation of the total energy density produced by protons in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN shows it is not likely to destroy Earth.

Damage to CERN's Large Hadron Collider from the mishap shortly after it opened in September, 2008 required extensive repairs. The LHC will restart in late 2009.

In what The Guardian has called the most ambitious experiment, the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator, is about to start up after a 20 year wait.

Straddling the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, 50 meters underground and an astonishing 17 miles long; the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is easily the World's biggest gun.

With the much heralded switch on of the Large Hadron Collider, scientists can begin investigating conditions comparable to those at the beginning of time.

The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest machine, used to learn more about the tiniest particles of matter.

Shortly after the CERN Large Hadron Collider accelerated its first protons, an accidental liquid He leak caused some magnets to warm up and necessitated repairs.

Fermilab's Tevatron is trying to make more scientific news before Europe's huge Large Hadron Collider completes repairs and begins operations again in the Spring of 2009.

Particle Accelerators form an enormous part of physical discovery, and as such, they are constantly getting bigger, better, and (much) more expensive.

Scientists hope to solve the mystery of matter by mimicking conditions that existed just a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

To form a black hole, matter must be compressed to such high densities that it is smaller than the event horizon or Schwarzschild radius.

Protons and other types of hadrons interact via the strong nuclear force. Hadrons are further classified into mesons and baryons.
