Mark Thomson takes the reins at the CERN particle-physics lab, which recently received $1bn in private donations for its next collider project, as Michael Banks reports ...

I visited CERN to tour the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is located 100 meters beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The facility ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. But while the LHC has proven a success when it comes to the Higgs, whose existence was confirmed ...

In a particle collider at CERN, a rarely-seen event is bringing us tantalizingly close to the brink of new physics. From years of running what is known as the NA62 experiment, particle physicist ...

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 ...

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 ...

A possible crack in the standard model of particle physics seems to be shrinking, as new data from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) contradicts a previous puzzling result that had physicists excited ...

Europe's top physics lab CERN launches its newest particle accelerator, billed as a key step towards future experiments that could unlock the universe's greatest mysteries.

The next head of Europe's CERN physics laboratory said Thursday that he favoured moving forward with plans for a giant particle collider far more powerful than the collider that discovered the famous ...
