Historians are scratching their heads at a resurfaced Egyptian scroll held by the British Museum that might support the claim that biblical giants were, in fact, real. Genesis chapter 6 of the Bible ...

Okay, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might have uncovered the Higgs boson and helped redefine our concept of physical reality, but what has it done for us lately? How about a side hustle heating ...

Mark Thomson, the new head of Europe's physics laboratory CERN, voiced confidence Tuesday about raising the billions of dollars needed to build by far the world's biggest particle accelerator. CERN, ...

For years, CERN’s particle experiments have fueled speculation about the possibility of creating a black hole. While the idea sounds alarming, physicists explain that any such black holes would be ...

Seven ambitious, diverse and technically complex colliders have been proposed as options for CERN’s next large-scale collider project: CLIC, FCC-ee, FCC-hh, LCF, LEP3, LHeC and a muon collider. The ...

In a historic first for the laboratory, CERN has received $1 billion in private donations to support the development of the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This philanthropic backing marks a shift in ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom smasher’s eventual final retirement is also something that top scientists are now ...

The European Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics is one of the world's leading scientific institutions. Securing it against IT risks is a constantly evolving challenge. There are few research ...

Tech billionaires have pledged as much as €860 million ($1 billion) to help fund CERN’s Future Circular Collider, the next-generation particle collider and the successor to the Large Hadron Collider, ...

The chief of the CERN physics laboratory says China's decision to pause its major particle accelerator project presents an "opportunity" to ensure Europe's rival plan goes ahead. Ten years ago, China ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed stable, suggesting plasma instabilities aren’t responsible for missing gamma ...
