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 ...
Scientists in Geneva are taking some antiprotons out for a spin — a very delicate one — in a truck, in a never-tried-before ...
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 ...
The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle ...
Researchers at CERN have announced a new particle that is like a slightly heavier version of the proton. This new particle, ...
Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, ...
A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like ...
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 ...
CERN scientists have uncovered a new proton-like particle, the Ξcc+, revealing a heavier and long-predicted member of the ...
A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...
