In physics, symmetry is a big deal, specifically with regards to matter and antimatter. If both were created in equal quantities in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, why has matter prevailed, but ...

Particle physicists at CERN have measured charge-parity (CP) violation in the D 0 meson for the first time. Announcing the finding today during the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference held in La ...

Grace C. Young is fascinated by fundamental questions about realms both quantum and undersea. Each summer, the international research laboratory CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider, welcomes ...

Scientists, engineers and other personalities from Europe’s largest physics lab begin a new series of “Hangout with CERN” video chats. On Jan. 24, CERN researchers will give some virtual face-time to ...

In late 2023, Wojciech Brylinski was analyzing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected anomaly—a strikingly large imbalance between charged and ...

Interior of the Projectile Spectator Detector (PSD) used in the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN. In collisions of argon and scandium atomic nuclei, scientists from the international NA61/SHINE ...

Why did anti-matter disappear almost completely from our universe, whereas matter did not? Scientists are attempting to solve this mystery at the European research institute at CERN. Now they ...

All summer long the world of physics has suffered from scientific confusion—all because experimenters from Columbia University and the State University of New York announced that they had demonstrated ...

What happens when you mix art with science? Whatever the result, it probably looks a lot like this preview for a new film called Symmetry, an elaborate opera, dance and CGI film set inside CERN's ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, the particle accelerator where scientists have studied the dance of the building blocks of all matter, another dance has taken place -- and has been ...
