All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

Four research teams working at CERN at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have received a research prize worth three million dollars. The three-million-dollar prize is in recognition of their ...

Matter and antimatter are like mirror opposites: except for their electric charge, they are the same in every respect. Well, almost the same—very occasionally matter and antimatter behave differently ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay. By Kenneth Chang Understanding why matter ...

Congratulations to the 2025 winners of the LHCb Thesis Awards, Early Career Scientist Awards and Technical Awards. The awards were presented during LHCb week at CERN on Wednesday, 18 June 2025. “These ...

There’s a newfound mismatch between matter and antimatter. And that could bring physicists one step closer to understanding how everything in the universe came to be. For the most part, particles and ...

The adage goes "like mother like daughter," and in the case of Irene Joliot-Curie, truer words were never spoken. She was the daughter of two Nobel Prize laureates, Marie Curie and Pierre Curie, and ...

Cracow, 23 November 2023 - High-energy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are capable of producing a quark-gluon plasma. But are heavy atomic nuclei really necessary for its formation? And ...
