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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...
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 ...
Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light ...
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 ...
