A new data centre in Hungary and the 4th phase of Openlab promise improvements to CERN's computing infrastructure
The Proton Synchrotron (PS) Booster – a key accelerator in the CERN complex – is 40 years old this month
The detector measured a strong signal that gives the particle's mass as 5945.0 ± 2.8 MeV
Forget the new diet - you may weigh less in the morning anyway, thanks to an overhaul of the kilogram
The CERN-MEDICIS project will use waste beams from ISOLDE to produce isotopes that could help in the war on cancer
At 12.38pm CEST this morning, the LHC shift crew declared "stable beams"
Two new phases of the COMPASS experiment will bring a powerful new look at quarks and gluons
CERN’s travelling exhibition will be showing at the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey, for 4 months
Results presented at the Moriond conference by LHCb put stringent limits on the current theory of particle physics, the Standard Model
On 17 January the Vacuums, Surfaces and Coatings (VSC) Group had exactly one hour to extract and fix a faulty 2-metre section of the LHC's vacuum
