A small yet innovative experiment is taking place at CERN. Its goal is to test how the CERN-born optical timing signal—normally used in the Laboratory's accelerators to synchronize devices with ...

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 ...

Antimatter is a tricky substance to store and transport, mostly because of its habit of annihilating any container you try to put it in. Now, researchers at the BASE collaboration at CERN have ...

Particles similar to axions, the leading candidate for dark matter that has long eluded detection, may have already been ...

GENEVA – Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher have inaugurated their newest particle accelerator, a key step toward churning out greater amounts of data that could help explain many ...

European scientific research giant CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has killed its use of Facebook's Workplace collaboration platform because it is dissatisfied with the company's ...

The other day we bought you news that scientists working on the ALPHA experiment at CERN had observed the light spectrum of antimatter for the first time. Now, a website is claiming this discovery is ...

What happens when you take a bit of antimatter and drop it? That’s the question being probed in a new series of antimatter gravity experiments being conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear ...

The new calorimeter for CERN’s CMS experiment is one of the most challenging engineering projects in particle physics of all time. Dave Barney explains how it will be pivotal to the success of the ...
