A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon plasma that filled the universe just after the Big Bang really was a ...

A new heat exchange system between the LHC and the French town of Ferney-Voltaire is directing waste heat energy from CERN's accelerator to warm thousands of homes and businesses.

A major upgrade to the LHCb experiment at CERN is under threat after the UK cancelled its contribution towards it. The decision by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to defund the ...

In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds after the Big Bang and, in the process, knocked lead atoms into becoming ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

A decade ago, the Large Hadron Collider, Earth's most powerful particle accelerator, proved the existence of an subatomic particle called the Higgs boson -- thought to be a fundamental building block ...

Geneva — Top minds at the world's largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve research into the remaining enigmas of physics. The plans for the ...

The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...

Were it not for a phenomenon called CP violation, we would probably not exist. A new analysis of particles smashing together at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is helping researchers better understand ...

Across the quiet darkness of space and the buried detectors under Antarctic ice, a set of stubborn anomalies is piling up.
