Do particles and their antiparticles behave in the same way? Even tiny differences could be amplified over astronomical distances to produce very large effects. Read article 'Linear collider physics: ...

The freshly-completed upgrade of the detectors and the harvest of Pb–Pb collision data expected in Run 3 will further improve the measurements.

Until now, ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) were thought to be black holes, because their high luminosity implied a mass exceeding by far the maximal mass of a neutron star. The most luminous of th ...

In March, CERN selected a new experiment called SHiP to search for hidden particles using high-intensity proton beams from the SPS. Read article 'Probing resonant production of Higgs bosons' No known ...

The meeting was inspired by several recent proposals to take advantage of the unique environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC to search for new phenomena. Since the first school in 2001, there ...

The easy part is over ­ experimental cosmology has now reached adulthood. That was the message that emerged from a workshop on cosmology and particle physics held at CERN this summer.

In the summer of 1973, an experiment at the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN discovered a new physics effect. Gordon Fraser looks back at how confirmation of the existence of neutral currents ushere.

The CLOUD collaboration at CERN has revealed a new source of atmospheric aerosol particles that could help scientists to refine climate models.

Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that would carry magnetic charge, a concept first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1931.

For optical astronomy, the space station will be accompanied by the Xuntian telescope, which can be translated to “survey the heavens”. Xuntian is currently planned to be launched in mid-2025 to fly ...

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further fundamental exploration and innovation in space technologies. Sky map The ...

Inspired by high-dimensional data and the ideals of open science, high-energy physicists are using artificial intelligence to reimagine the statistical technique of ‘unfolding’. Open-science unfolding ...
