What is #DarkMatter ?
How did the first stars blaze into light?
What is the origin of #blackholes ?

Scientists are building some of the biggest scientific instruments in history to try and answer questions like these. Join Robin Ince 💙 (from BBC Radio 4 Infinite Monkey Cage) and a stellar…

#ThrowbackThursday to 1999, landing next to one of the magnets at the COMPASS experiment.

The experiment, which had its final run in 2022, looked at the complex ways in which the elementary quarks and gluons work together to ‘make’ the particles we observe, from the humble…

CMS continues to search for the W’ boson in unexplored territories: new mass regions are probed for W' bosons decaying to a top quark and a bottom quark.
The measurements hint at exciting possibilities to be further studied with more Run 3 data. 📌cms.cern/news/beauty-to…

When is a jet not a jet all the way? 🦈

When it's hiding dark matter! A new search from the ATLAS experiment at CERN is looking for #darkmatter particles produced inside a jet of Standard-Model particles. Check out our new physics briefing to learn more: cern.ch/jetway

Like a sky full of stars ✨

Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features a perforated beam screen for the #HiLumiLHC , to be installed in the aperture of the inner triplet superconducting magnets near the @atlasexperiment and the @cmsexperiment.

Its function is to optimise the beam aperture…

How can CERN technologies benefit self-driving cars?

On this #AutonomousVehiclesDay , learn how CERN and car-safety software company Zenseact have researched #machinelearning models that could allow #selfdrivingcars to make accurate decisions much faster, and better avoid…

🤩Two muons meet beauty and the strange… and CMS is on the hunt!

The CMS experiment continues its search for new physics, hunting for bumps in events with two muons and beauty quarks.

#AskAPhysicist part 3️⃣

We have received so many interesting questions, so this time, our experts from @LHCbexperiment, ATLAS Experiment and ALICE Experiment will give you more details about CERN’s #physics during #LHCRun3 , how we use antimatter and the #StandardModel .

Would you…

Here we see the Paul trap built for the compact MIRACLS experiment at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. It prepares the beam received from ISOLDE during #LHCRun3 for an injection into the ion trap, where ions are cooled using Helium as a buffer gas.

Find out more about the MIRACLS…

How could a wearable medical device help improve your health?
