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 ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland is said to be the largest particle accelerator in the world. The accelerator occupies ...

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 ...

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 ...

Shutting down: Operations at the CERN particle-physics lab will be curtailed by 20% next year to save energy (courtesy: CERN) The CERN particle-physics lab near Geneva will be reducing the planned ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first Africa-led experiment at CERN is currently taking place at the Geneva-based lab’s ISOLDE facility. Researchers from the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in South Africa are studying the ...
