Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. Sure, it sounds like an obvious thing, but scientists haven’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in exactly the same ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...

The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful ...

New research published June 6 by researchers from CERN has brought scientists a step closer to understanding where all the antimatter has gone. This matter-antimatter asymmetry is one of the greatest ...

Physics tells us that a hammer and a feather, dropped in a vacuum, will fall at the same rate – as famously demonstrated by an Apollo 15 astronaut on the Moon. Now, CERN scientists are preparing to ...

What happens when you take a bit of antimatter and drop it? That’s the question being probed in a new series of antimatter gravity experiments being conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear ...

Scientists at CERN have reported on their first significant evidence for a process predicted by theory, paving the way for searches for evidence of new physics in particle processes that could explain ...

Shutting down: Operations at the CERN particle-physics lab will be curtailed by 20% next year to save energy (courtesy: CERN) The CERN particle-physics lab near Geneva will be reducing the planned ...

GENEVA -- After three years of scrutinizing the elusive Higgs boson closely, scientists say they've determined that the "God particle" behaves just as predicted. The European Organization for Nuclear ...

This year will be a fallow one for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The accelerator and its experiments are still being upgraded and the 27-km-circumference collider is not due to restart until 2015.

Big announcement in the science world today from Swiss research lab CERN regarding the so-called 'God Particle.' Here's the announcement that was put out. Below it we've posted another press release ...
