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 ...

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 ...

At the heart of every atomic nucleus, the strong interaction quietly dictates the structure of matter, yet for decades one of ...

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 ...

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 ...

CERN has installed two cold boxes at the ATLAS and CMS sites, a major milestone for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade.

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 ...
