In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, ...

The astonishing result, achieved by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) collaboration, represents the first-ever observation of ...

The universe we live in and everything in it burst into existence roughly 13.8 billion years ago. In its infancy, the cosmos was filled with a dense primordial “soup” of quark-gluon plasma, which, as ...

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 ...

After a successful run of eight months – including recent collisions that could shed light on the primordial universe – the last beam of 2010 was extracted yesterday evening from CERN’s Large Hadron ...

Scientists from the CMS collaboration at CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to understanding how matter behaved in the very early ...

Scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment announced that they have finally figured out the structure of an exotic particle known as the pentaquark, meaning a group of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Using the most powerful particle collider in the world, a research ...

In the first joint result from the world's two leading particle colliders, scientists have determined the mass of the heaviest elementary particle, the top quark. The measurement was made using the ...
