Mark Thomson takes the reins at the CERN particle-physics lab, which recently received $1bn in private donations for its next collider project, as Michael Banks reports ...

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 ...

They are building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for a flagship physics experiment. The challenge is ...

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 ...

One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden ...

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 ...

Scientists see this as a much more favorable alternative to nuclear deflection, which would use a powerful nuclear bomb to ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Results from KATRIN and MicroBooNE strongly disfavour a light sterile-neutrino explanation of longstanding anomalies.

Geneva, 4 July 2012. At a seminar held at CERN1 today as a curtain raiser to the year’s major particle physics conference, ICHEP2012 in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented their latest ...

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 ...
