CERN is the only place on Earth that manufactures antimatter particles via high-energy collisions. Just a tiny amount of antimatter is capable of generating an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb.

The oldest particle accelerator at CERN, home to the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, is celebrating its 60th birthday. It’s still running. The Proton Synchrotron (PS) accelerated its first ...

At CERN, antiprotons are created by firing a proton beam from the lab's Proton Synchrotron at a metal target. These antiprotons have a lot of energy, in the neighborhood of 3,500 MeV, so they need to ...

The CMS detector lies 100 m underground in the LHC's 27 km subterranean tunnel. Last weekend, over 70,000 visitors travelled to Geneva for the CERN Open Days – a rare chance to visit the world’s ...

Following a two-year shutdown for maintenance and upgrades, Ned Stafford looks at how the LHC has been improved to allow researchers to hunt for new particles Power boost The upgrade and maintenance ...

After an almost two-year shutdown for repairs and upgrades, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is beginning to fire back up for its next phase of probing the mysteries of physics. Its newest particle ...

Sept 9 (Reuters) - The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, is the world's largest particle physics laboratory. Its scientists are preparing to start a small-scale re-enactment ...
