Alchemists eat your heart out. Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider achieved the once-impossible dream of alchemists by turning lead into gold — but only for a split second. The world’s largest ...

Scientists have detected record-breaking PeV gamma-ray emissions from PSR J1849−0001, dubbed the 'Aquila Booster', challenging existing models of pulsar wind nebulae. On the same day, CERN began ...

GENEVA — Scientists in Geneva took some antiprotons out for a spin — a very delicate one — in a truck, in a never-tried-before test drive that has been deemed a success. If this so-called antimatter ...
