The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...
New director-general Mark Thomson discusses fundraising efforts and future priorities for Europe’s particle-physics ...
For years, CERN’s particle experiments have fueled speculation about the possibility of creating a black hole. While the idea ...
Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. Sure, it sounds like an obvious thing, but scientists haven’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in exactly the same ...
Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light ...
Significant recent advancements spearheaded with support from CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, are revealing deeper insights into the fundamental nature of our universe. The ...
Particles rush through a long tunnel in the Large Hadron Collider. Maximilien Brice/CERN, CC BY-SA When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics ...
Scientists at CERN have reported on their first significant evidence for a process predicted by theory, paving the way for searches for evidence of new physics in particle processes that could explain ...
The European Strategy Group tasked a working group to compare seven proposals for CERN’s next large-scale collider.
Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.
