Engineers from the UK Atomic Energy Authority robotics center, RACE (Remote Applications in Challenging ...
A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...
The world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, has accomplished something that once belonged only to medieval alchemists’ fantasies — turning lead into ...
A 3.7 centimetre-wide robot has been designed to travel along the 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider to allow remote ...
CERN engineers have transported two gleaming cryogenic “cold boxes” deep into the tunnels of ...
For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.
A new robot developed by British and European researchers aims to solve that problem by travelling through the collider’s internal pipes and identifying faults before they halt scientific work, ...
