Five teams of secondary school pupils have been selected to carry out their own experiments using accelerator beams at CERN, DESY and the University of Bonn
The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a fleeting union
The Large Hadron Collider gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the next few days
A new set of “eyes” that will enhance the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer’s sensitivity to cosmic rays is now one step closer to space, thanks to recent progress at CERN
Discussions this week at the Open Symposium of the European Strategy for Particle Physics demonstrate strong progress towards ensuring that CERN remains a world leader in collider physics and technology
New data from the ALICE experiment, collected when no particle beams were circulating in the LHC during pauses in Run 2, may contribute to solving a puzzle surrounding cosmic muons
The OpenWebSearch.eu consortium, which includes CERN, has released a pilot of the first federated, pan-European Open Web Index, paving the way for a new generation of unbiased and ethical search engines
CERN engineer Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, now an ESA astronaut, has just taken off for the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center
