Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei

The detection of longitudinally polarised W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is an important step towards understanding how the primordial electroweak symmetry broke, giving rise to the masses of elementary particles

Released today, a report of a study investigating the project’s feasibility will serve as input for the European Strategy for Particle Physics and be assessed by the CERN Council in the coming months

Surprising results from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN show that this so-called isospin asymmetry could point to gaps in physicists’ understanding of how quarks and gluons combine

The LHC is engaged in a complex quest to understand the exotic offspring of one of the fundamental forces of nature

ATLAS reports the first observation of a Z boson accompanied by two other carriers of the weak force

Near-miss collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are shedding light on the dynamics of gluons, which contribute 99% to the mass of protons and neutrons

Following the UNESCO opening ceremony on 4 February, see how CERN plans to celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

The CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks play by Einstein’s rules all day and all night

New ATLAS measurement of the lifetime of the electrically neutral beauty meson is the most precise to date
