For years, CERN’s particle experiments have fueled speculation about the possibility of creating a black hole. While the idea ...

The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

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

The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...

In this video, I explore CERN and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The 27km long tunnel is colder and emptier than outer space, where particles are ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

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

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

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 ...

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