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...

Scientists Discover New Elusive Particle, Magnetic Relative of Higgs Boson Particle, Using Tabletop Experiment
A team of scientists have discovered a new particle or a quantum excitation, which was previously undetectable, using a tabletop experiment. Named the axial Higgs mode, the new elusive particle is a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle.
