Do Atoms Really Touch? Science Explains Their Complex Interactions
The question of whether atoms ever truly "touch" depends on overlapping electron clouds rather than physical surfaces. According to Christopher Baird of West Texas A&M University, atomic "touching" is different from everyday physical contact. Atoms lack defined outer surfaces, and their interaction signals the start of physical effects like bonding...

Large Hadron Collider Detects Heaviest Antimatter Particle, Sheds Light on Early Universe Conditions
CERN's ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has identified the heaviest antimatter particle observed to date. By replicating early universe conditions, this discovery provides new insights into the dominance of matter over antimatter. The particle, an antimatter counterpart of hyperhelium-4, emerges from a state of matter known as "qua...

Mark Thomson Appointed CERN Director-General, Takes Charge of Collider Project
Mark Thomson has been named as the new Director-General of CERN, where he will oversee the $17 billion Future Circular Collider project. Thomson, a British physicist known for his role in the discovery of the Higgs boson, will lead the laboratory through challenges such as securing funding and addressing scepticism from key contributors like German...

Scientists at CERN's LHC Observe Three "Exotic" Particles for First Time
Scientists working with the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have discovered three subatomic particles never seen before as they work to unlock the building blocks of the universe. They will help physicists better understand how quarks bind together into composite particles.

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Set to Smash Protons Together at Unprecedented Energy Levels
The Large Hadron Collider will begin its third run today, as it begins to smash protons together at an unprecedented energy level of 13.6 trillion electronvolts. The world's largest and most powerful particle collider will run around the clock for four years after a three-year break for upgrades. The newly upgraded collider will look at the Higgs B...

Large Hadron Collider Sets a New World Record for Proton Acceleration
With its proton beams, the newly enhanced Large Hadron Collider (LHC) set a new world record. The LHC, which is housed at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, reopened on April 22 after a planned three-year sabbatical during which the facility was upgraded.

CERN's Large Hadron Collider Restarts Operations After a 3-Year Break for Upgrades
The Large Hadron Collider restarted Friday after a three-year break for upgrades that will allow it to smash protons together at even greater speeds, in the hope of making new ground-breaking discoveries.

Large Hadron Collider to Be Restarted in Hunt for Dark Matter
Scientists at the CERN centre have announced that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be fired up this week and continue its search for the elusive subatomic particle known as dark matter.

Ukraine Crisis: CERN Suspends Russia's 'Observer' Status, Pauses Future Collaboration
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has declared that it will suspend the country's “observer” status at its facilities and freeze new agreements with Russian scientific institutes.

Instagram Shows CERN's Mammoth Particle Accelerator Is Very Photogenic
If you've ever entertained those questions, you've engaged with some of the most pressing mysteries of physics. And you might want to turn to Instagram - yes, Instagram - for more information. It turns out that the social media network is packed with great science photos, and the granddaddy of all labs, CERN, also runs a behemoth of an Insta feed.
