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.

Quantum Entanglement Detected Inside Protons for the First Time by Researchers
In a major development in quantum physics, researchers have discovered quantum entanglement inside protons, a breakthrough that was previously theorised but unproven. Using data from the Large Hadron Collider and advanced quantum information science, evidence of entanglement between quarks and gluons was found within the proton. This discovery chal...

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...

Large Hadron Collider Detects Heaviest Antimatter Particle, Sheds Light on Early Universe Conditions
CERN's ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has identified the heaviest antimatter particle observed to date. By replicating early universe conditions, this discovery provides new insights into the dominance of matter over antimatter. The particle, an antimatter counterpart of hyperhelium-4, emerges from a state of matter known as "qua...

"Big Upgrade Happening, India Can Play Key Role": Scientist On Large Hadron Collider
Archana Sharma, an Indian-origin scientist working at CERN, said there is an ambitious plan to build a new, much larger collider in Geneva.

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Set to Smash Protons Together at Unprecedented Energy Levels
The Large Hadron Collider will begin its third run today, as it begins to smash protons together at an unprecedented energy level of 13.6 trillion electronvolts. The world's largest and most powerful particle collider will run around the clock for four years after a three-year break for upgrades. The newly upgraded collider will look at the Higgs B...

Large Hadron Collider Sets a New World Record for Proton Acceleration
With its proton beams, the newly enhanced Large Hadron Collider (LHC) set a new world record. The LHC, which is housed at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, reopened on April 22 after a planned three-year sabbatical during which the facility was upgraded.

CERN's Large Hadron Collider Restarts Operations After a 3-Year Break for Upgrades
The Large Hadron Collider restarted Friday after a three-year break for upgrades that will allow it to smash protons together at even greater speeds, in the hope of making new ground-breaking discoveries.

Instagram Shows CERN's Mammoth Particle Accelerator Is Very Photogenic
If you've ever entertained those questions, you've engaged with some of the most pressing mysteries of physics. And you might want to turn to Instagram - yes, Instagram - for more information. It turns out that the social media network is packed with great science photos, and the granddaddy of all labs, CERN, also runs a behemoth of an Insta feed.
