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

A blazar is an extraordinarily bright object with a supermassive black hole at its core. Some of the matter falling into the ...

A May 15 post on X, formerly Twitter, (direct link, archive link) shows a video of scantily-clad people dancing and writhing on a stage before a person in a goat-headed costume comes out shouting.

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 ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has shed light on the structure of "exotic" particles. These particles ...

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 ...

Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered a new particle in their work on the LHC beauty (LHCb) experiment. The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that particles like ...

CERN has taken a major step towards building a 100-kilometre circular super-collider to push the frontier of high-energy physics. The decision was unanimously endorsed by the CERN Council on 19 June, ...

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 ...
