CERN Accelerating science

Physicists from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations explain how they came to identify the new particle of 2012 as "a Higgs boson"

The ALPHA collaboration has published a paper describing the first direct analysis of how antimatter is affected by gravity

The LHCb collaboration has made the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays the B⁰_s

LHC experiments release a scattering of Higgs-candidate data to the public

The international team running the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) today announced the first results in its search for dark matter

The ATRAP experiment presents most precise measurement yet of the antiproton magnetic moment

Eighty years ago today, Physical Review published a paper by Carl Anderson announcing the discovery of the positron – the electron’s antiparticle

With two and a half times more data analysed than in July last year, ATLAS and CMS find that the new particle looks more and more like a Higgs boson

A standing stone outside the CERN Control Centre neatly sums up our understanding of the universe

Objects as large as a planet or as small as a photon can have the property of spin. Spin is also the reason we can watch movies in 3D.
