Hadron Collider

The Hadron Collider, specifically the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is a massive scientific instrument located underground near Geneva. It accelerates protons or atomic nuclei to near the speed of light and then smashes them together in highly controlled experiments. These collisions allow scientists to study fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. By analyzing the results, researchers can explore questions about the origins of matter, the nature of dark matter, and the basic laws of physics. The collider helps expand our understanding of the universe at its most fundamental level.
