Particle accelerators have many applications in medicine, industry and research. These machines accelerate charged particles, such as electrons and protons, to high speeds, sometimes even close to the ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypothetical particle, known ...

How do things work? To find out, we observe them and we take them apart. But not everything is easily observed, and until recently some things couldn’t be taken apart. It’s the culmination of a theory ...

A team of more than 100 researchers working at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe may have just witnessed the first direct evidence of a theoretical particle called an odderon. The LHC, the world's ...

THE HEAVY snowfall in central Europe so far this year is making life hard for stone martens. A weasel-like animal, half a metre long with brown fur and a white blaze on its chest, the stone marten has ...
