Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large ...

Scientists mix plasmas of antiprotons and positrons in a magnetic bottle called a Penning-Malmberg trap. When these particles ...

CERN’s Quantum Technology Initiative (QTI) is designed to enhance collaboration between the high-energy physics and quantum technology communities. Joe McEntee talks to Benjamin Frisch, a member of ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Physicists at the world’s largest atom collider have observed three new exotic particles as they continue to search for clues about the mysterious forces that bind subatomic particles together, they ...

John Ellis has spent almost four decades working at the CERN particle-physics lab. As he now returns to the UK, the 65-year-old theorist tells Michael Banks about the latest in the search for the ...

Scientists at CERN have used lasers to cool down antimatter for the first time. The milestone could help unlock some of the secrets of this weird substance, including why it didn’t annihilate the ...

The laws of physics, as experts currently understand them, dictate the following: Every fundamental particle has an antimatter twin. The electron, quark, and muon, for example, are paired with the ...

CERN’s historic discovery of the elusive Higgs boson --- the subatomic particle thought to be at the root of what gives normal matter its mass --- may actually represent only a portion of a more ...

Sept 9 (Reuters) - The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, is the world's largest particle physics laboratory. Its scientists are preparing to start a small-scale re-enactment ...

Last week the research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world hosted its first workshop on the issues of gender and equal opportunities in theoretical high ...

Italian physicist Dr. Fabiola Gianotti will be the first woman to lead the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the international research center that discovered the Higgs boson (also ...
