The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Michael S Turner argues that the next breakthrough in particle physics and cosmology may be just around the corner.

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

With the Earth moving between the moon and the sun, its giant shadow changing the moon's reflected glow from ivory to a reddish color.

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

CERN engineers have transported two gleaming cryogenic “cold boxes” deep into the tunnels of ...

A mouse-sized robot has been developed, in part by UK scientists, to inspect the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the ...

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner Triplet String (IT String), which mirrors the underground configuration ( CERN ...

UK scientists and the UK Atomic Energy Authority have developed a mouse-sized robot to inspect the Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border.

A 3.7 centimetre-wide robot has been designed to travel along the 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider to allow remote ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Some people worried that the large hadron collider would smash particles together so hard it would make black holes that would swallow the earth, open wormholes to other dimension ...
