In a historic first for the laboratory, CERN has received $1 billion in private ...

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

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the machine for a more powerful future. The shutdown is not a sign of trouble so ...

For the first time in CERN’s history, private donors (individuals and philanthropic foundations) have agreed to support a CERN flagship research project. Recently, a group of friends of CERN, ...

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 ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

In collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Sun’s core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery: how delicate particles like deuterons and ...

One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden ...

Cern, the international group of scientists uncovering some of the oldest secrets of the universe through the vast ...

It might not be the legendary Higgs boson, but scientists at the world's largest particle accelerator have just discovered something else very interesting indeed. While on the hunt for the ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

Join me as I explore CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC ...
