Physicists at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics announced today that an invisible Force permeates the universe, binding the galaxy together
The short circuit to ground delaying the restart of the LHC has been fixed
A short circuit in a superconducting dipole magnet is delaying the beam injection in the LHC. Teams are working around the clock to fix the issue
LHC run 2 is coming ever closer, but there will be no beam in the LHC this week
Today at CERN His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa discussed science and perception with CERN researchers
This week delegates at the first Annual Meeting of the FCC study will discuss the status of their project to decide on a baseline for further study
LHCb physicists today presented their latest analysis of a rare decay, which shows deviations from Standard Model calculations
A workshop in DESY looked at what the data from HERA can still offer for experiments, now and in the future
LHCb physicists today presented their latest analysis of the rare B → K*μμ decay. The new results show deviations from Standard Model calculations
