The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest scientific instrument, recreates high-energy collisions to search for new fundamental particles, such as the mysterious Higgs boson.

A new study reveals that water once flowed beneath the Martian sand dunes. This could mean the planet had habitable conditions for longer than previously thought. This finding strengthens the search for extraterrestrial life on Mars.
A scientific team has for the first time measured how a geomagnetic superstorm drastically compressed Earth's plasmasphere, disrupted auroras, and affected communications, GPS, and satellites during the most intense solar event in more than two decades.
The first extrasolar coronal mass ejection from the red dwarf star StKM 1-1262 has been detected. This explosion raises questions about the habitability of exoplanets, as it could strip them of their atmospheres.
Earth shares its space with more cosmic travelers than we usually imagine, and some follow such unusual orbital dances that they resemble small, temporary moons.
A gesture as simple as moving a thumb in front of the landscape contains the same physical principle we use to measure cosmic depths millions of light-years across — discover it here.
Could data from Cassini, a long-deceased NASA probe, have found the perfect host for life beyond our planet?
If the solar system is moving faster than we thought, some calculations will need to be redone because this could affect the values we currently have.
Science has a theory that is as terrifying as it is revealing: perhaps we haven't found extraterrestrials because all advanced civilisations self-destruct before they can expand. Is that our destiny?
In a new study, astronomers argue that the Universe's peak is in the past and the trend is only going to get worse from here on out.
Our Sun, which today sustains life on Earth, also has an expected end in about 5 billion years; its evolution will turn it into a dying star.
In a phenomenon where a black hole is consuming a star larger than the Sun, a peak in brightness occurred that amazed astronomers.
