The world's most powerful particle accelerator will undergo some major upgrades during the 4-year hiatus.

The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest atom smasher, has shut down for a planned 4-year upgrade that will make it 10 times more sensitive than its initial version.

Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, the world's largest scientific instrument has fallen silent. After years of smashing ...

The High-Luminosity LHC, planned to switch on in 2030, could help physicists unravel mysteries about the Higgs boson, dark matter and more.

It’s difficult to overstate just how much the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has helped advance our understanding of the ...

And no, they didn’t shut down ‘cuz it was gonna create a black hole. LHC will be replaced with an upgrade—HiLumi LHC.

One of the most important discoveries in physics in a long time was made there 14 years ago, and now the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator in Geneva is being shut down for several years ...

High-Luminosity LHC upgrade work has begun at CERN after the Large Hadron Collider logged its final collision on June 27, 2026, entering a four-year, $1.5 billion Long Shutdown 3 program to replace 1.

When I arrived at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in the prairie suburbs west of Chicago to begin my ...

Cern has switched off the Large Hadron Collider for a four-year shutdown and overhaul. The work will prepare the machine for its High-Luminosity phase and a major rise in data collection.
