The Future Circular Collider (FCC) has not yet received a political green light or funding Some of the 1232 dipole magnets that bend the path of accelerated protons are pictured in the Large Hadron ...

The world’s most powerful sub-atomic particle accelerator – the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) in Geneva – has been given the go-ahead to re-start after ...

The Large Hadron Collider was turned off two years ago, but not before a revolutionary find. The discovery of the elusive Higgs boson, the so-called God particle, was so noteworthy it earned ...

Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

A giant depiction of the CMS experiment adorns the atrium of building 40 at Cern After its much heralded re-start last year, has the world's biggest machine, the Large Hadron Collider, found a new ...

A new particle has been discovered at Fermilab's Tevatron collider, and researchers say it's exhibiting unusual properties. Unlike normal particles, this one exotic particle contains four 'flavours' ...

Spinning supermassive black holes often shoot out jets of plasma from their poles. When the magnetic fields in these jets get twisted and tangled, they generate an electric field capable of ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.
