Forty years after the observation of weak neutral currents at CERN, Luciano Maiani reflects on their impact.

"Collision – Stories from the Science of CERN" is a highly readable anthology built on the idea of teaming up great writers with great scientists.

A special symposium held at CERN in September celebrated the anniversaries of the laboratory's major discoveries that underlie the modern theory of particles and forces.

Leon Lederman, former director of Fermilab, once described the development of particle physics as frequently a story of false trails, crossed wires, sloppy techniques, misconceptions and misunderstandings, occasionally compensated for by strokes of incredible luck.

Last week, researchers published an important white paper identifying activities in particle physics where burgeoning quantum-computing technologies could be applied. The paper, authored by experts from CERN, DESY, IBM Quantum and over 30 other organisations, is now available on ArXiv. With quantum-computing technologies rapidly improving, the paper sets out where they could be applied within particle physics in order to help tackle computing challenges related not only to the Large Hadron Coll...

A team of researchers suggests the space observatory just spotted "dark stars"—theoretical stellar objects powered by dark matter.

Astronomers looking at ancient light seen by the Webb Space Telescope have found three pinpricks that they think could be “dark stars,” theoretical objects powered by dark matter.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) continue to discover exotic particles that we've never seen before.

‘Where are the aliens?’ the billionaire asks

The researcher posted this query in response to the first tweet by Elon Musk's new artificial intelligence startup, xAI.
