For optical astronomy, the space station will be accompanied by the Xuntian telescope, which can be translated to “survey the ...

The freshly-completed upgrade of the detectors and the harvest of Pb–Pb collision data expected in Run 3 will further improve the measurements.

The meeting was inspired by several recent proposals to take advantage of the unique environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC to search for new phenomena. Since the first school in 2001, there ...

Until now, ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) were thought to be black holes, because their high luminosity implied a mass exceeding by far the maximal mass of a neutron star. The most luminous of th ...

In March, CERN selected a new experiment called SHiP to search for hidden particles using high-intensity proton beams from the SPS. Read article 'Probing resonant production of Higgs bosons' No known ...

Do particles and their antiparticles behave in the same way? Even tiny differences could be amplified over astronomical distances to produce very large effects. Read article 'Linear collider physics: ...

The easy part is over ­ experimental cosmology has now reached adulthood. That was the message that emerged from a workshop on cosmology and particle physics held at CERN this summer.

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further fundamental exploration and innovation in space technologies.

Mark Thomson, CERN's Director General designate for 2025, talks to the Courier about the future of particle physics.

Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that would carry magnetic charge, a concept first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1931.

The CLOUD collaboration at CERN has revealed a new source of atmospheric aerosol particles that could help scientists to refine climate models.
