CERN's research and the truth behind conspiracy theories claiming it opens portals to other dimensions, and the facts about the LHC and its scientific purpose.

Scientists believe that at the heart of all large galaxies lurk supermassive black holes, cosmic titans with masses equivalent to that of millions or even billions of suns. Yet some black holes ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

Up to 30 drilling sites have been identified for checking to see if the ground will be suitable for the CERN Future Circular Collider. The results of the feasibility study will be revealed in March ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled the closest-ever look at a monster black hole devouring its cosmic surroundings. This supermassive black hole, at the heart of a quasar known as 3C 273 ...

The Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland was established for researching fundamental particles ... In order to justify their ...

They found that a primordial black hole with a mass of 10 19 kg would bore right through a planet, leaving a tunnel just 100 nanometers wide. That’s roughly the mass of 324 Bamberga , the 16th ...

A black hole's magnetic parent: The neutron star The scientists realized that perhaps previous simulations of collapsing neutron stars weren't giving the full picture. "Past simulations have only ...

Astronomers suspect that in the first second after the universe formed, the very first black holes also formed. These tiny though profoundly dense objects — think of an atom-sized particle ...
