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.

LHC's New Particle Was Just a Fluke, Scientists Find
According to University of Liverpool's Themis Bowcock, experts are disappointed but do not see the experiment as a failure.

World's Largest Particle Smasher Set to Push Physics Into Unknown
Scientists hope to uncover new particles that could dramatically change our understanding of the Universe.

World's Biggest Particle Smasher Set to Start Unprecedented Tests
The world's biggest particle smasher was set today to start unprecedented experiments after a two-year upgrade to crank up energy levels to enable it to hopefully unlock more mysteries of the universe.

After Higgs breakthrough, CERN readies for next cosmic quest
When experiments resume in 2015, scientists at CERN will use its enhanced power to probe dark matter, dark energy and super-symmetry ideas.

CERN experiments observe particle consistent with long-sought Higgs Boson
At a seminar held at CERN today as a curtain raiser to the year's major particle physics conference, ICHEP2012 in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented their latest preliminary results in the search for the long sought Higgs particle. Both experiments observe a new particle in the mass region around 125-126 GeV.

Einstein can rest easy as neutrinos obey speed limit
New research suggests neutrinos that appeared to break one of Einstein's fundamental theories by travelling faster than the speed of light actually keep within the universal speed limit after all.

Was Einstein wrong- or was the cable loose?
The world of science was upended last year when an experiment appeared to show one of Einstein's fundamental theories was wrong - but now the lab behind it says the result could have been caused by a loose cable.

What the Big Bang experiment part 2 is
After lengthy delays, the multi-billion dollar scientific experiment to smash protons moving at near light-speed has been successful.
