The CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso experiment sends muon neutrinos through a tunnel at the French-Swiss border in the direction of a detector in Italy, more than 450 miles away. One of the group's experiments, known as OPERA, turned up evidence that...

Got questions for CERN crew? We know we do. For instance, if a Higgs bosson falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still create a miniature black hole that swallows the Earth and destroys us all? Well if you've got queries for the...

"By the time the LHC goes into its first long stop at the end of this year, we will either know that a Higgs particle exists or have ruled out the existence of a Standard Model Higgs," CERN's research director, Sergio Bertolucci, said. "Either would be...

December two teams of researchers at CERN, the European particle physics centre, both said they had separately seen “tantalising glimpses” of what might be the Higgs during collisions inside the LHC, deep under the Swiss-French border. The CERN...

Each observation of a collision allows scientists to pore over the fragments of particles that are left over, on a quest for the one smallest bit of all: the Higgs. The oddly named boson is still just a theory, infinitesimally tiny and thought to be...

A statement issued by CERN, the scientific body governing work at the collider, stated that, “the data target for 2012 is 15 inverse femtobarns for ATLAS and CMS, three times higher than in 2011.” That bit of obfuscation is a measure of the number of...

More ideas keep these experiments’ “dance-cards” full all the time. Much more is happening but it is impossible to do every one justice in a short overview. These are just a few of the many activities ongoing at CERN besides the LHC programme. All...

Some of the most colossal and costly machines on the planet have been built to detect the Higgs, believed to be one of the most infinitesimal particles in the universe. Just this week, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, put out a...

The LHC is very adept at focusing the beams as well as cranking up the collision energy. And now, LHC physicists may be catching a glimpse of a Higgs signal coming from the guts of one of the cathedral-like particle detectors positioned at strategic...

By boosting the energy of each beam - from 3.5 Tera-electron Volts (TeV) to 4 - scientists will get three times more data from tens of millions of daily collisions, CERN said. Physicists believe that without the Higgs boson and its associated 'particle...

The CERN research center near Geneva wants to prove or disprove the existence of an invisible “Higgs” field permeating the universe quickly, before the giant LHC machine is shut down for a long-term upgrade in late 2012. “This means more Higgs, more...

The combined output the particle accelerator will produce will reach 8 teraelectronvolts (TeV), 1 TeV above 2011 levels. This can be translated into an increase from 3.5 TeV per beam to 4 TeV per beam, which officials say will provide a better chance...

This is why the sun's magnetic field has continued to weaken since 2000. As a result, this magnetic field doesn't shield us against cosmic radiation quite as well, which in turn leads to stronger cloud formation and, therefore, cooling. What else has to...
