Current models of physics dictate there should be as much antimatter in the universe as matter, but there isn't. Work at the world's largest particle collider has come a step closer to explaining why.

So physicists have been on the hunt for any sign of difference between matter and antimatter, known in the field as a ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles ...

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been the focal point of groundbreaking scientific discovery. In 2012, the LHC famously confirmed the existence of the Higgs boson, a particle that had been ...

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming that the United States was no ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu ...

Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second. The world ...

The ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.

The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been realized by physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), who have turned lead into gold — albeit for only a fraction of a second and at ...

The Future Circular Collider would have a diameter of over 56 miles, compared to the Large Hadron Collider’s 17-mile diameter. Credit: CERN ...

Yeah! Science! Scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider – the most powerful particle accelerator ever built – have detected the heaviest form of antimatter observed. This discovery is as ...
