A weasel shut down the world's most powerful particle smasher when it wandered onto a 66,000-volt transformer and caused a short circuit, Europe's physics lab CERN said Saturday.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have discovered a new kind of particle called the pentaquark, they announced Tuesday.
|
|
The Large Hadron Collider restarted Wednesday with audacious goals. Scientists say they intend to create mini Big Bangs, seek out exotic particles, hunt down dark matter and create a new physics.

Ginebra -
Scientists on Wednesday hailed a "new era" in their quest to unravel more mysteries of the universe as the world's biggest particle smasher started experiments with nearly doubled energy levels in a key breakthrough.

Dark matter is hunted in space, in the Solar system and in distant galaxies. Signs of its interactions, its fingerprint and its decay are pursued. Whether WIMP, axion or neutrino, though unseen, the net is tightening around it.

Ginebra -
The world's largest particle smasher restarted Sunday after a two-year upgrade that will allow physicists to explore uncharted corners of what makes up the universe, including dark matter and antimatter.

The world is abuzz because CERN has released in Open Science data sharing the first couple dozen terabytes of LHC high-velocity particle collisions such as the ones that brought the Higgs boson into view. Use the data for music, education or raw analysis.

Twenty years ago, something happened at CERN: Tim Berners-Lee handed a document to his supervisor Mike Sendall entitled "Information Management : a Proposal". The following year, the World Wide Web was born.
Now you can revisit the first website ever!

After last summer's announcement that they may have discovered the Higgs boson popularly called the "God particle," CERN physicists announced Thursday that the latest results of data analysis confirm they have found the Higgs boson.
|
|
While stressing that the film has not been authorized or endorsed by CERN, students have released "Decay", a zombie doomsday scenario film, sparked by the Large Hydron Collider and search for the Higgs Boson.
|
|
A new paper by Ian Low and colleagues at Cornell University casts doubt on the identity of the particle CERN scientists announced as consistent with the "standard model Higgs boson." The study says the particle may not be the standard Higgs after all.
|
|
Geneva -
Retired British physicist Peter Higgs, who first proposed the Higgs boson in 1964, and after whom the particle was named, has congratulated the CERN team that found the new particle described as "consistent" with the Higgs boson.

Scientists were lining up from around the world to disprove the OPERA readings of FTL neutrinos. While these findings may not have been accurate, the fact remains that physics is obsessively negative regarding FTL or anything resembling FTL phenomena.

The continuing saga of “did, didn’t” in establishing faster than light speeds for subatomic particles called neutrinos continues. The worship of a 100 year old theory based on Newton continues unabated, as evidence to the contrary goes begging.

Geneva -
Originally meant to be built in Waxahachie, Texas, under the nickname of Desertron, Switzerland-France's CERN states it has seen "tantalizing hints" of the elusive Higgs boson, also called the "God particle," in two of their experiments.

Geneva -
Amid rumors that physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have detected the first signs of the elusive Higgs boson popularly called the "God particle," the organization has released a statement that researchers have made "significant progress."

After physicists in the OPERA experiment said they had obtained results which confirm previous test results that neutrinos travel faster than light, another team in the ICARUS experiment have said results from their study contradict the OPERA experiment.
|
|
Geneva -
Physicists at CERN have rerun tests conducted in September which suggested that neutrinos travel faster than light. The latest results are consistent with those of the first received with skepticism after faults were found in the experiment design.

Geneva -
CERN reported the ALPHA experiment successfully isolated and detained more than 300 antimatter atoms for over 16 minutes, just long enough for these elusive particles to relax and settle down, so scientists can begin to get to know them much better.
|
|
Scientists announced this week that they have found the densest form of matter in the known universe. This exotic material may be the parent of all known matter.
|
|
CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva, just announced that the LHC will run until the end of 2012, except for a short technical stop at the end of 2011.
|
|
In what may be one of the most important historical scientific achievements in physics, scientists from CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva, Switzerland have successfully isolated anti-hydrogen atoms.
|
|
CERN, the European Organization
for Nuclear Research, and its particle physics laboratory were at the center of the plot in the latest movie directed by Ron Howard, Angels & Demons. CERN responds to public questions about antimatter and more.

A single bad connection was the cause behind the world's largest atom smasher to be sidelined. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN was shut down just days after it opened with huge fanfare.
|
|
Well, Wednesday is just about over. I've been waiting all day, you know, for a black hole to suck up the universe, but I guess today isn't the day earth, or "home" as I like to call it, meets its demise.
|
|
In nine days the Large Hadron Collider will be switched on. Some scientists fear that will be the end of the world. They believe that the world's biggest experiment will create a black hole and swallow the Earth.
