Mark Thomson, the new head of Europe's physics laboratory CERN, voiced confidence Tuesday about raising the billions of dollars needed to build by far the world's biggest particle accelerator.

In this video, I explore CERN and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The 27km long tunnel is colder and emptier than outer space, where particles are ...

Forward-looking: Antimatter consists of particles with properties opposite to those of regular particles. It plays a central role in modern physics research and forms naturally through cosmic ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the border of France and Switzerland, the LHC is expected to ...

In beehives on the CERN site, a buzzing team of bees collaborates to build hexagon after hexagon of honeycomb—a shape that ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...

Yeah! Science! Scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider – the most powerful particle accelerator ever built – have detected the heaviest form of antimatter observed. This discovery is as important ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
