1+ day, 4+ hour ago   (448+ words) Scientists have created an incredibly brief glimpse of the early Universe inside a particle collider. The tiny event lasted almost no time at all, yet it left behind a signal that could change how researchers study matter. Physicists at CERN…...

1+ day, 6+ hour ago   (408+ words) An experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has successfully produced, captured and transported positrons using a novel system developed for CERN's proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC). The results show that the key elements of the FCC positron-source…...

1+ day, 7+ hour ago   (591+ words) The milestone is significant because producing sufficient positrons and forming them into a usable beam is one of the major technical challenges facing the proposed collider. PSI researchers have spent around five years developing the new source, which is intended…...

2+ day, 39+ min ago   (298+ words) After more than half a century of searching, physicists believe they’ve confirmed a strange new form of matter, one that oddly consists of particles with no mass at all. These elusive “glueballs,” whose existence is predicted by the Standard Model…...

2+ day, 1+ hour ago   (545+ words) August 25, 2026 | By: Michael Nartker Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s reputation as America’s particle physics laboratory is based on groundbreaking experiments, powerful particle accelerators and advanced technologies, all pushing the boundaries of discovery. Helping to guide those efforts and chart the path…...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago   (172+ words) X(2370) has long been a leading candidate for a “glueball”—a hypothetical particle made almost entirely of gluons. “The radiative decay of the J/ψ meson is a gluon-rich process and is therefore regarded as an ideal place for searching…...

2+ day, 5+ hour ago   (962+ words) Dear readers, faithful companions of the lantern and the basketball, If my outburst hurt anyone, I apologise. That was not my intention. I did not want to add pain to pain, or anger to anger. I only wanted to say,…...

2+ day, 9+ hour ago   (64+ words) (IMAGE) EurekAlert! When atomic nuclei collide it triggers a scattering reaction that can be measured to calculate the size and density of the nuclei. News organizations may use or redistribute this image, with proper attribution, as part of news coverage…...

2+ day, 8+ hour ago   (780+ words) By Grace Awuor Otieno For women in Burkina Faso, restoring land has meant far more than recovering degraded fields. It has meant spending less time carrying heavy loads, mastering new agricultural skills, and building a sustainable business their daughters can…...

2+ day, 22+ hour ago   (1784+ words) Venus Keus. Image: DIAS ‘People are so much more complicated than physics,’ says Venus Keus. A few weeks ago, I sat down to speak with Venus Keus, a scientific associate at the European Organization for Nuclear Research’s (CERN), and found…...
