Why is the world’s largest particle physics laboratory at CERN shutting down for three years?
The LHC facility at CERN is famous for the discovery of the Higgs boson, dubbed the ‘God particle’.
Mark Thomson has taken the reins at CERN just as particle physics confronts some of its deepest unknowns – and faces hard choices about what comes next ...
Two biggest mysteries that have been puzzling scientists for many decades are the baryon asymmetry and the origin of dark matter. To solve why the present universe is significantly missing antimatter ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Seemingly empty vacuums are actually teeming with perturbations known as virtual particles that are nearly impossible to detect. Virtual particles ...
The LHCb experiment at the CERN LHC accelerator has observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of 7 sigma, a new particle composed of two charm quarks and one down quark: a structure ...
Physicists from the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered a new kind of heavy proton-like particle. Known as Ξcc⁺, this particle contains two charm quarks and one down ...
The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle smasher, Europe's CERN physics laboratory announced Tuesday. The new particle ...
