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 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...

CERN's BASE-STEP Successfully Transports Protons, Paving Way for Antimatter Transport
CERN scientists have successfully tested a new method for transporting particles like protons, using the BASE-STEP system. This breakthrough opens the door to transporting antimatter safely across long distances, facilitating more precise experiments at laboratories such as Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. The system, which uses vacuum cha...

India To Play Larger Role At Europe's Nuclear Research Organisation CERN
India is playing a larger role than ever at CERN as the country can now propose experiments and also vote on its important decisions, says an eminent Indian-origin scientist at the organisation which runs the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
