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. The world ...

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 ...

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.

At the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, particle physicist Jasper Kirkby studies the link between aerosols, cosmic rays and cloud formation, using the data to inform climate models. "It's ...
