The Higgs boson’s decay into muons happens in only about one in every 5000 Higgs decays. So, the team had to search for a ...

During those very early moments of the universe, things were extraordinarily hot, and quark-gluon plasma behaves in strange ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

An unforeseen feature in proton-proton collisions previously observed by the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider ...

This podcast features an interview with Sara Alderweireldt, who is a physicist working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN – the ...

We speak to Cern principal scientist Archana Sharma about pattern recognition, machine learning and quantum technology.

Scientists from CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to ...

Microsoft and our third-party vendors use cookies to store and access information such as unique IDs to deliver, maintain and ...

Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second.

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

Since it was tackling that problem anyway, CERN decided to make a shipping container for antimatter, allowing it to be put on a truck and potentially taken to labs throughout Europe.

CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, reported the results on May 8. How does the collider make it happen? In the collider, lead ions are fired at each other at nearly the speed ...
