Physicists at the world's largest particle accelerator have made a first-of-its-kind discovery about antimatter that could help solve one of the universe's biggest mysteries. The discovery — made at ...

Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

You know that feeling when you're passing by a car junkyard that's close to the road? It feels like you're traveling back in time for a few moments, doesn't it? Well, if that feels strange, imagine ...

A new technique allows physicists to take a glimpse inside an atom’s nucleus by using electrons as a ‘messenger’. The method may be able to reveal insights into the universe’s early existence without ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Holger Müller is in the Department of Physics, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, USA. However, the recoil energy is tiny and therefore hard to measure. Laser-based ...

The world's largest atom smasher has revealed a new kind of particle, and so far, it leads a charmed existence. The discovery of the particle, which is made up of two so-called charm quarks, validates ...
