Scientists used a particle accelerator to reconstruct the 3.7-million-year-old face of Little Foot, one of the most complete ...

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

CERN engineers have transported two gleaming cryogenic “cold boxes” deep into the tunnels of ...

Researchers in the US have revealed that an emerging class of quantum sensors, called ...

Scientists at CERN have observed an unexpected phenomenon within the world’s largest particle accelerator that suggests that the heaviest and shortest-lived particles in the universe may not be as ...

Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

Tech wealth is pouring into fundamental science again, with a new $1 billion pledge aimed at helping CERN build the next generation of particle collider and push beyond the discoveries of the Large ...

In recent months, Ireland became an associate member of Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. This is a very welcome development for physicists, engineers and computer scientists ...

On Nov. 11, 1974, two research teams rocked the particle physics world when they announced they had independently discovered a new subatomic particle – the J/psi. The particle’s existence called for a ...
