CERN's ALICE experiment turned lead into gold—briefly—reviving alchemists' old dreams with modern nuclear physics.

Large Hadron Collider have achieved the ancient dream of turning lead into gold through high-speed nuclear collisions — but ...

The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been realized by physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), who have ...

In a paper published in Physical Review C, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of ...

Why the name? Because the hodoscope would seek out especially long-lived particles in the Large Hadron Collider, which have so far escaped detection amid the collider’s subatomic fireworks show.

University of Auckland nuclear physicist David Krofcheck is recognised for his work on the world's greatest science ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at a biodegradable plastic made from trees, a $3 million prize for scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider, why we’re one step closer ...

We perform research at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. There are a large number of tasks that can be done over the academic year and in the summertime (the latter are paid ...

The discovery — made at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, near Geneva — has revealed that a short-lived cousin of protons and neutrons, the beauty-lambda baryon, decays at a different ...

Awarded annually in life sciences, mathematics, and fundamental physics, each prize includes a $3 million award.
