Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

Particle never before seen on Earth detected; it could come from a primordial black hole and the origin of the universe.

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

A cluster of fossilized dinosaur eggs discovered nearly five decades ago has revealed new secrets after being scanned with a stadium-sized particle accelerator. The high-resolution imaging allowed ...

As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures last week could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...
