Large Hadron Collider Finally Pays Off: Discovers New Range Rover

2:15PM February 10, 2012 | Andrew Liszewski

The Higgs Boson still hasn’t made an appearance, but in an even more stunning discovery, apparently the Large Hadron Collider has been responsible for creating the new 2012 Range Rover Sport. That’s $US9 billion well spent right there. More »

This Is What I Imagine The Large Hadron Collider Looks Like Deep Inside

12:10AM December 23, 2011 | Jesus Diaz

This image wasn’t photoshopped. Ian Hobson created it using his drier machine and a modified laser projector. The result is how I imagine the Large Hadron Collider works deep inside — operated by Duck Dodgers, of the 24th and a half century. More »

The Higgs Boson Is Still Missing, But The LHC Just Found Its First New Particle

11:32PM December 22, 2011 | Jamie Condliffe

Since it was opened in 2009, the LHC has been helping prove whether the Higgs boson exists or not. Scientists are not there yet, but they have just found the LHC’s first new particle: Chi-b 3P. More »

Why God Particle Is A Perfect Name For The Higgs Boson

1:30PM December 19, 2011 | Jesus Diaz

I prefer to call it The Force — a particle that “surrounds us and penetrates us” binding the galaxy together — but Czech physicist Luboš Motl makes a good case as to why the Higgs boson should be called the God Particle. More »

Scientists Still Chasing The Force, Getting Closer

2:54AM December 14, 2011 | Jesus Diaz

After much excitement, the Force has not been found. But don’t be sad, my fellow nerds. Scientists may have not found evidence of the Higgs boson yet, but they have discovered “tantalising hints” that may indicate its presence. More »

Scientists Are About To Find The Force

1:00PM December 9, 2011 | Jesus Diaz

If confirmed next week, this will be the biggest news in the history of physics since the birth of the Theory of Relativity: CERN scientists may have already found evidence of the existence of the elusive Higgs boson. THE FORCE, dudes: More »

Table-Top Atom-Smasher Does Amazing Things In A Small Package

5:20AM August 24, 2011 | Brent Rose

How cool is this? Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Easy Bay represent!) have created an atom-smasher that could fit on your kitchen table. Why should the Large Hadron Collider guys have all the fun? More »

CERN Needs YOUR Help To Discover The Elusive God Particle

8:55AM August 10, 2011 | Adrian Covert

CERN are the multi-national keepers of the Large Hadron Collider, which is the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet. But they need your help in their quest to find the Higgs Boson particle, otherwise known as the God Particle. More »

Fermilab’s Claim Of New Subatomic Particle Discredited By Rival Team

9:00AM June 14, 2011 | Adrian Covert

Fermilab believed they hit the motherlode this past April after findings from the Tevatron particle accelerator suggested a new subatomic particle was out there. A second, independent group has analysed that same data and claim there is no new particle. More »

LHC Creates Densest Matter In The Universe Outside Of Black Holes

11:19PM May 25, 2011 | Casey Chan

The Large Hadron Collider, the baddest monster machine around, recently made a matter known as quark-gluon plasma. It’s a hundred thousand times hotter than the inside of the sun and denser than anything in the universe, except black holes. More »
