The first moments after the Big Bang remain one of the greatest mysteries in modern physics. Now, new results from CERN are ...

At the 40th ICHEP conference, the ATLAS and CMS experiments announced new results which show that the Higgs boson decays into two muons. The muon is a heavier copy of the electron, one of the ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), collisions between relatively light oxygen and neon nuclei may be producing matter ...

Scientists have been testing the limits of the world’s largest neutrino experiment after they ...

At the time of the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago, every particle of matter is thought to have been produced together with an antimatter equivalent of opposite electrical charge. But in the ...

If dark matter couples feebly enough to evade direct detection, it may still betray itself by stealing energy from a beam.

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 ...

CPOD26 gathered more than 100 researchers at CERN to hunt for the QCD critical point, where the crossover to quark-gluon ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

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 ...

The CERN Council convened today to discuss how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affects the scientific collaboration’s ability to pursue its goals and ensure the safety and wellbeing of its members. The ...
