The LHC is the world's most powerful particle accelerator, a 27-kilometer underground ring built by CERN to collide protons at incredibly high energies to study fundamental physics.
Its primary purpose is to advance our understanding of fundamental particles and forces, recreating conditions from the early universe to explore the nature of matter, energy, space, and time.
The most famous discovery made at the LHC is the Higgs boson in 2012, a fundamental particle crucial to explaining how other elementary particles acquire mass.
The LHC is located at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) on the border between France and Switzerland, near Geneva.
