In 2023, the ALICE experiment was ready for their best year yet, until a mysterious signal threatened everything. As the LHC wraps up its 2025 lead-ion run, physicists recall how they worked together ...

Something is out there. As far as scientists know, just 15% of the matter in the universe is the ordinary kind we can see. The other 85%, called dark matter, remains beyond detection, invisibly ...

In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins. At this very moment, ...

A large and unexpected excess of top quark pairs has the physics community excited, but the interpretation is still up for debate. In 1995, Alexander Grohsjean cut out a story from the local German ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...

Meet the short-lived particle that helps the sun shine. Visible matter is made from only a handful of particles, but many more are behind the scenes, affecting what those matter particles do. The W ...

Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs died earlier this year. Twelve years ago this week, physicists discovered the particle that bears his name. When researchers at the Large Hadron Collider announced the ...

About 1,400 people attended the grand opening of CERN’s new science education center. Since the 1950s, physics research center CERN has been a popular tourist destination. But the start-up of the ...

To understand why scientists are excited about detecting a new background, just look to the history of studies of the CMB. There’s a new cosmological background in town. In June, researchers from the ...

Scientists are championing a relatively new technique as a method to understand the structure of the early universe in three dimensions. With enough time and magnifying power, a telescope can gather ...

The first Indian scientist to join CERN was recently recognized with the highest honor of India for overseas citizens. Physicist Archana Sharma remembers the day in 1992 when her CERN supervisor, ...

Physicists advocate for getting community college students involved in research. In 2016, Robert Zill was stranded at the South Pole. He had spent a week at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Research Station, ...
