Mark Thomson takes the reins at the CERN particle-physics lab, which recently received $1bn in private donations for its next ...

The old fantasy of transforming lead into gold is now a reality, made possible by some wildly inefficient physics at the ...

Several centuries ago, a branch of alchemy called chrysopoeia is said to have explored the possibilities of transforming widely available base metals into precious metals. Early practitioners never ...

Surprising readings from December just won't go away -- and unlike the LHC's last big particle, this one would upset physics rather than confirming it. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

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 ...

The CMS collaboration have used advanced machine learning techniques to search for new particles in jets produced by proton-proton collisions at the LHC A proton-proton collision producing multiple ...

Physicists have nailed a fiendishly difficult measurement — the mass of the fundamental particle the W boson. The result, from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is in line with ...

Neutrinos are some of the most enigmatic particles in all of physics. Sporting a neutral charge and a mass close to zero, neutrinos rarely interact with other matter and as such have been notoriously ...

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down, a new study suggests. When you ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by using ...

The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...
