Particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can reach temperatures over one hundred thousand times hotter than at the centre of the Sun. Yet, somehow, light atomic nuclei and their ...

As a layman I would now say… I think we have it. 4 July 2012: A packed auditorium at CERN listens keenly to the announcement from CMS and ATLAS (Image: Maximilien Brice/CERN) At the subatomic scale, ...

Five teams of secondary school pupils have been selected to carry out their own experiments using accelerator beams at CERN, DESY and the University of Bonn A beamline is a facility that provides high ...

For the first time in CERN’s history, private donors (individuals and philanthropic foundations) have agreed to support a CERN flagship research project. Recently, a group of friends of CERN, ...

Building 937 houses the coolest robots at CERN. This is where the action happens to build and programme robots that can tackle the unconventional challenges presented by the Laboratory’s unique ...

Our fifth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series looks at how the LHC has recreated and greatly advanced our knowledge of the state of matter that is believed to have existed shortly after the Big ...

How many new particles has the LHC discovered? The most widely known discovery is of course that of the Higgs boson. Less well known is the fact that, over the past 10 years, the LHC experiments have ...

Today at 13h51, the engineer in charge of the LHC at the CERN Control Centre announced that stable beams had returned to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), marking the start of the 2025 physics ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from outer space that strike Earth’s atmosphere, generating showers of secondary particles, such as muons, that can reach the planet’s surface. In recent years, ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton – the antimatter counterpart of a proton – oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states ...

"The basics of a boson" – a lesson by Dave Barney of the CMS collaboration and Steven Goldfarb of the ATLAS collaboration. Animation by Jeanette Nørgaard for TED-Ed. In 2012, physicists at CERN ...
