Wikipedia turns 25! To celebrate this fantastic milestone for the world of Open Knowledge, the Wikimedia foundation organises a virtual event. The Scientific Information Service organises a watch ...

Particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can reach temperatures over one hundred thousand times hotter than at the centre of the Sun. Yet, somehow, light atomic nuclei and their ...

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 A beamline is a facility that provides high ...

For the first time in CERN’s history, private donors (individuals and philanthropic foundations) have agreed to support a CERN flagship research project. Recently, a group of friends of CERN, ...

During LS2, the LHC’s two external beam dumps were removed from the tunnel and replaced with spare ones. After ten years of operation, they were showing signs of degradation, notably nitrogen leaks.

Our fifth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series looks at how the LHC has recreated and greatly advanced our knowledge of the state of matter that is believed to have existed shortly after the Big ...

Today at 13h51, the engineer in charge of the LHC at the CERN Control Centre announced that stable beams had returned to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), marking the start of the 2025 physics ...

Building 937 houses the coolest robots at CERN. This is where the action happens to build and programme robots that can tackle the unconventional challenges presented by the Laboratory’s unique ...

Today, the LHCb experiment at CERN is presenting a new discovery at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP). The new particle discovered by LHCb, labelled as T cc +, ...

"The basics of a boson" – a lesson by Dave Barney of the CMS collaboration and Steven Goldfarb of the ATLAS collaboration. Animation by Jeanette Nørgaard for TED-Ed. In 2012, physicists at CERN ...

From performing detailed studies of the Higgs boson to demonstrating the first antimatter quantum bit and converting lead nuclei into gold nuclei, this year CERN further expanded our knowledge of the ...

From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behaviour of matter are governed by the way chemical elements bond with one another. For many of the 118 known elements, the ...
