Ars Technica: CERN’s original data center for handling the data created by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is located in Geneva and is limited to 3.5 MW of power because of the amount the LHC itself draws. The 11 000 servers are primarily used...
Scientists have carried out ground-breaking experiments to investigate the atomic structure of astatine (atomic number 85), the rarest naturally occurring element on Earth. Through experiments conducted at the radioactive isotope facility ISOLDE at...
Exotic nuclei point shed light on a mystery of existence It's only a small thing, but it could be big news: researchers at CERN have turned up the first evidence of exotic (and short-lived) atoms with pear-shaped nuclei.…
As a physics teacher, going to CERN to see the Large Hadron Collider was a dream come true for Andrew Vanden Heuvel. Armed with Google Glass, Heuvel's trip was even more meaningful as he shared every step in real time with his students in...
What's the Latest Development?
Physicists at the world's biggest physics lab, the CERN laboratories on the French-Swiss border, have collected initial findings on anti-matter which suggest it might also have anti-gravity properties. In other...

What goes up must always come down, right? Well, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) wants to test if that principle applies to...
It's safe to say that the web was a tad successful, eh?The web as we know it was famously invented by Tim Berners-Lee while working at CERN, but it wasn't until a few years later -- 1993 to be precise -- that it'd truly be set free. On April 30 of...
Today Cern is celebrating 20 years of the free, open web.We all know the World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, during his time at Cern. But did you know that it was another four years until the particle physics lab officially...
April 30th may seem as ordinary as any other date, but in 1993 it marked an important milestone in the development of global communications: it was on that day that the World Wide Web entered the public domain. CERN, the same research group that's...
BBC: One of the detectors at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is dedicated to studying the decay paths of B mesons—particles made of combinations of quarks. A paper submitted to Physical Review Letters has revealed that the decay path of the Bs...
The CERN Collider is undergoing a refitting, putting the Large Hadron Collider out of commission for two years. The collider is only five years old, but the two year revamp is aimed at doubling its power.
CERN scientist Marc Goulette made it clear...
(Phys.org) —A research team made up of physicists from the US, Canada and Germany has succeeded in making the first individual-particle measurement of the magnetic moment of an antiproton. In their paper published in Physical Review Letters, they...
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets visited on Friday the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva and confirmed Russia’s intention to cooperate with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN.
The following is adapted from a press release issued today by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Samuel Ting, the Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of Physics at MIT and the spokesman for the international team of researchers running...
Today a briefing was held at Europe’s CERN laboratory which had experiment chief Samuel Ting of MIT announcing what may be the first official detection of dark matter. Ting is a Nobel-prize winning physicist and made it clear that though...
