CERN Experiments Confirm Early Universe Behaved Like a Near-Perfect Fluid
Physicists at CERN have directly observed fluid-like behaviour in the quark–gluon plasma that filled the early universe. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider revealed wake-shaped ripples forming behind fast-moving quarks, similar to bow waves in liquids. These quark wakes confirm that the primordial “soup” of quarks and gluons behaved as ...

Scientists Recreate Cosmic ‘Fireballs’ in Lab to Solve Mystery of Missing Gamma Rays
Scientists recreated cosmic plasma beams at CERN to study why certain gamma rays vanish in space. The results showed the beams remain stable, suggesting ancient intergalactic magnetic fields, not beam collapse, hide the signals. The discovery provides new insight into cosmic jets and the universe’s earliest magnetic traces.

CERN’s LHCb Detects First CP Violation in Baryons, Shedding Light on Matter–Antimatter Puzzle
LHCb at CERN reports first CP violation in baryons—a 2.45% decay asymmetry—offering new clues to matter–antimatter imbalance. This result, statistically significant at 5.2σ, confirms fundamental physics theories while opening fresh avenues for exploring the matter–antimatter imbalance that shaped our Universe.

sPHENIX at RHIC Delivers First Results, Sets Stage for Quark–Gluon Plasma Studies
Brookhaven’s sPHENIX detector at RHIC has released its first results from gold-ion collisions, confirming accurate detection of particle counts and energy levels. These measurements validate the detector’s performance and lay the groundwork for exploring quark–gluon plasma (QGP)—a primordial state of matter from the early universe. With bas...

Scientists Build Container To Ship Most Expensive Substance On Earth Costing $62,000,000,000,000
Scientists at CERN have built a shipping container capable of transporting antimatter out of the laboratory for the first time.

Scientists Transform Lead into Gold, But Only for a Fleeting Moment
In a landmark experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists briefly turned lead into gold by removing three protons through near-miss atomic collisions. The ALICE collaboration generated 89,000 gold atoms per second, though each existed only fleetingly. While economically insignificant, the breakthrough showcases the precision of particle ...

Alchemist's Dream Come True: Scientists Create Gold From Lead
Physicists at the LHC have created gold nuclei from lead atoms through high-energy collisions, achieving a feat once thought to be the realm of alchemy.

Scientists Spot a Key Difference in Matter and Antimatter Decay
A major difference in the decay of matter and antimatter has been observed in beauty-lambda baryons, according to new research from the LHCb experiment at CERN. The discovery provides insight into why the universe contains more matter than antimatter. Scientists found that the chance of this decay difference occurring randomly is less than one in t...

CERN's ALPHA Experiment Achieves Precise Antihydrogen Measurement
The ALPHA experiment at CERN has recorded antihydrogen’s 1S–2S transition with unprecedented accuracy, using laser cooling to refine measurements. The technique significantly reduces data collection time, allowing repeated observations. These findings enhance comparisons between hydrogen and antihydrogen, pushing the boundaries of fundamental p...

Do Atoms Really Touch? Science Explains Their Complex Interactions
The question of whether atoms ever truly "touch" depends on overlapping electron clouds rather than physical surfaces. According to Christopher Baird of West Texas A&M University, atomic "touching" is different from everyday physical contact. Atoms lack defined outer surfaces, and their interaction signals the start of physical effects like bonding...
