At that time, pure physics research concentrated on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the word "nuclear". Today, our understanding of matter goes much deeper than the nucleus, and CERN's ...

The antimatter counterpart to the simplest atom, hydrogen, is a neutral antihydrogen atom, which consists of a positively charged positron orbiting a negatively charged antiproton. In 1995, physicists ...

CERN is one of the pre-eminent global centres ... when we advanced from knowing almost nothing of the make-up of the atom, to discovering electrons, protons, neutrons, anti-particles and a whole ...

Experiments at CERN's Antimatter Factory test fundamental ... by measuring the frequencies of transitions in the anti-atom using laser light or microwaves. If the results match those of normal ...

A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.

The answer is a new superconducting magnet prototype under development at CERN, lovingly named Fusillo because of its shape. Originally, CERN physicists became interested in developing this ...

Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces H ave you ever stood by the sea ...

Ireland's application to join the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) has been accepted in principle, paving the way for the country to become an associate member in 2026.
