CERN engineers have developed a fleet of small, AI-powered robots designed to race through the pipe networks of the Large Hadron Collider, and the project’s nickname tells you almost everything you ...

Antimatter is a tricky substance to store and transport, mostly because of its habit of annihilating any container you try to put it in. Now, researchers at the BASE collaboration at CERN have ...

Many of the theories physicists rely on are incomplete, and until a flaw is found which can reveal new physics, the field is ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

Researchers at CERN have just upgraded their understanding on one of the rarest particle ...

Getting together: The event on 1 October was attended by 38 national delegations as well as Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium and the president of the European Commission. (Courtesy: CERN) ...

CERN’s historic discovery of the elusive Higgs boson --- the subatomic particle thought to be at the root of what gives normal matter its mass --- may actually represent only a portion of a more ...

Last week the research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world hosted its first workshop on the issues of gender and equal opportunities in theoretical high ...
