CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s most important and renowned centers for fundamental physics research. In its large-scale experimental facilities, scientists ...

A new heat exchange system between the LHC and the French town of Ferney-Voltaire is directing waste heat energy from CERN's accelerator to warm thousands of homes and businesses.

Reanalysis of NASA’s Galileo mission data has revealed ammonia on Europa’s surface for the first time. The nitrogen-rich compound appears along cracks in the ice, suggesting recent transport from the ...

Okay, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might have uncovered the Higgs boson and helped redefine our concept of physical ...

China is currently building a particle accelerator that is nearly four times larger than the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This device could soon ...

In beehives on the CERN site, a buzzing team of bees collaborates to build hexagon after hexagon of honeycomb—a shape that ...

Scientists from all over the world are contributing to the first complete prototype of a wedge-shaped slice of the new CMS endcap calorimeter. This ...

The 27-km LHC has eight surface points. Point 8, home of the LHCb experiment, is located close to the French town of ...

CERN's ALICE collaboration reveals how fragile deuterons survive high-energy collisions, impacting models of cosmic rays and ...

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

The next five years will be critical for CERN. We will move from a period dominated by LHC operation to one of implementing the HL-LHC while at the same time progressing the FCC-ee as CERN’s next ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...
