If the Large Hadron Collider ever finds that Higgs boson thingy it's been looking for, the LHC may also end up becoming our very first fully armed and operational time machine.

What will the end of the world sound like? Surprisingly musical, considering the tunes are being cranked out by a 17-mile ring nearly 600 feet underground. That's right, the Large Hadron Collider is adding "musician" to a resume that includes "world's most powerful particle accelerator."

It feels like just yesterday that we were taking about the Large Hadron Collider smashing the world record for most powerful particle collision circulation ever at an energy level of 3.5 TeV (tera-electron volts). That was actually only a scant...

Remember back in November when the Large Hadron Collider set the world record for the highest energy of particles accelerated ever? Well, the LHC has been collidin' said particles at the same record-setting 1.18 TeV level of energy, and now...

CERN's Large Hadron Collider always had the chops to be the new proton accelerating sheriff in town, but this morning in Geneva the monstrous 17-mile-ring finally proved it. The LHC "accelerated its twin beams of protons to an energy of...

Baby just took her first step! After over a year of delays, CERN's Large Hadron Collider saw its first collision on Monday when two low energy proton beams were smashed into one another. This comes after the LHC's warm up...

After being stalled by a catastrophic leak, a speck of bread and alleged time travelers, CERN has brought the Large Hadron Collider successfully back online with the full orbit of a proton beam. The 17-mile ring of the facility should...

Today, the world comes to an end. Well, in theaters, anyway. 2012 has us thinking about the apocalypse 'round these parts (so uplifting, we know), and that led us to wondering about all the crazy technology that's all around us...

It was weird enough that scientists said a bird dropping a piece of bread on an electrical substation managed to shut down power to the Large Hadron Collider. Now two respected physicists are blaming that incident on a time-traveling bird,...

Here's one for the books. CERN's Large Hadron Collider has once again been shut down. No catastrophic helium leak or failing magnets this time. The culprit? A speck of bread, which officials believe was originally part of a larger baguette....
