Scientists at CERN have discovered a new particle four times heavier than a proton, opening fresh insights into how the universe works. The breakthrough marks the first discovery since major upgrades to the world's most powerful particle collider.
America's largest particle collider ended its groundbreaking 25-year run, but scientists are already building something even better in its place. The machine recreated conditions from microseconds after the Big Bang and solved mysteries about the building blocks of matter.
America's only particle collider just closed after recreating the universe's first moments for a quarter century. Its shutdown isn't an ending—it's making room for an even more powerful machine.
A once-fanciful particle collider that seemed impossible to build is now getting serious funding attention. The muon collider could unlock mysteries about our universe that current machines can't solve.
Physicists at the world's largest particle collider just found a never-before-seen building block of matter that could unlock secrets about the most powerful force in the universe. The discovery marks the 80th new particle found at the facility and is only the second of its kind ever observed.
Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider just found a particle that solves a puzzle from 2002, proving upgrades to the world's most powerful atom smasher are paying off. The discovery shows we can now detect particles that live for just a fraction of a trillionth of a second.
The world's most powerful particle accelerator just got a second job: keeping thousands of homes warm. CERN is redirecting waste heat from its massive collider to heat an entire French neighborhood instead of releasing it into the air.
Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider just discovered their 80th particle, a groundbreaking baryon that could unlock secrets about the forces holding all matter together. The discovery came after major detector upgrades completed in 2023.
Physicists at Cern's Large Hadron Collider discovered a proton four times heavier than normal, offering new insights into the forces holding atoms together. The breakthrough came after just one year with upgraded detectors that previously couldn't spot the particle in a decade of searching.
British researchers just spotted a particle four times heavier than a proton, cracking a mystery that's stumped physicists for over 20 years. The breakthrough proves that a decade of patient upgrades to the world's most powerful particle detector was worth every moment.
The puzzling Amaterasu particle, one of the most energetic cosmic rays ever detected, may actually be an ultraheavy atomic nucleus rather than a proton. This breakthrough could finally explain where the universe's most powerful particles come from.
After nearly 50 years of searching, scientists in Beijing have discovered strong evidence for a "glueball," an exotic particle made entirely of force instead of matter. This breakthrough confirms a major prediction about how the universe works at its smallest scale.
Scientists detected the most powerful neutrino ever recorded after it traveled billions of light years from a black hole-powered blazar to Earth. The discovery helps us understand the universe's most extreme particle accelerators.
Scientists at the world's most powerful particle accelerator just got their clearest look yet at the primordial soup that filled the universe moments after its birth. The discovery reveals how the building blocks of everything came together in the first fractions of a second.
A visual artist and composer will transform invisible particle physics into art the public can see and hear. Their 2026 residency at Fermilab proves science and creativity speak the same language.
Scientists at Fermilab are using artificial intelligence to fine-tune particle accelerators, potentially saving millions in operating costs while accelerating breakthrough discoveries about our universe. The project could reshape how scientists conduct cutting-edge physics research.
After years of mysterious beam failures, physicists at CERN finally tracked down the invisible force disrupting experiments in their massive particle accelerator. The breakthrough could revolutionize fusion energy and future scientific discoveries.
Researchers analyzing 650 billion particle decays at CERN's Large Hadron Collider discovered behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. This breakthrough could unlock mysteries like dark matter and reshape science for generations.
Researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider discovered particle behavior that defies our fundamental understanding of physics, potentially opening doors to unknown forces and particles. The findings could explain mysteries like dark matter that make up 25% of our universe.
Astronomers tracked a mysterious high-energy neutrino back to Shadow Blaster, a brilliant star-forming galaxy that's been beaming cosmic particles across the universe for 11 billion years. This discovery reveals how ancient galaxies might account for the trillions of invisible particles streaming through our bodies every second.
