A blazar is an extraordinarily bright object with a supermassive black hole at its core. Some of the matter falling into the ...

In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, scientists saw quantum entanglement, the mysterious link between particles, ...

Physicists from Swansea University have played the leading role in a scientific breakthrough at CERN, developing an ...

While the production of larger quantities of antihydrogen used to take weeks years ago, a single night is now sufficient.

Physicists at the world’s largest atom collider have observed three new exotic particles as they continue to search for clues about the mysterious forces that bind subatomic particles together, they ...

A novel beam diagnostic instrument developed by researchers in the University of Liverpool's QUASAR Group has been approved ...

CERN, the world’s largest atom smasher, says it has observed three new "exotic particles" while carrying out its third run of collisions. After a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

A May 15 post on X, formerly Twitter, (direct link, archive link) shows a video of scantily-clad people dancing and writhing on a stage before a person in a goat-headed costume comes out shouting.

About 1,400 people attended the grand opening of CERN’s new science education center. Since the 1950s, physics research center CERN has been a popular tourist destination. But the start-up of the ...
