Mark Thomson, the new head of Europe's physics laboratory CERN, voiced confidence Tuesday about raising the billions of dollars needed to build by far the world's biggest particle accelerator.

Scientists believe that interactions between Higgs bosons could unlock insights into new physics. Discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, the elusive Higgs boson particle has been at ...

Join me as I explore CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC features a 27km long tunnel where particles are accelerated to nearly the speed of ...

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the border of France and Switzerland, the LHC is expected to ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

The LHC, operating at unprecedented luminosities, has revealed a system of five "glue-like" particles that could help us to fill out a "periodic table" of subatomic particles. Share on Facebook (opens ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...

With experiments performed in the CLOUD chamber at CERN, researchers aimed to determine whether isoprene oxygenated organic molecules could form new particles under upper-tropospheric conditions.

Why didn’t the universe annihilate itself moments after the big bang? A new finding at Cern on the French-Swiss border brings us closer to answering this fundamental question about why matter ...
