A new type of particle called the strange pentaquark has been found using the Large Hadron Collider. The particle could help researchers catalogue the states of exotic matter and figure out how fundamental particles stick together

A 2022 measurement of the mass of the W boson threatened to upend particle physics as we know it, but new results from CERN indicate the standard model was right all along

To celebrate the end of the year, our editors have picked New Scientist’s very best features of 2022. And as a gift from us to you, they are all free to read until 1 January

Physicist Carlo Rovelli explains the strange principles of relational quantum mechanics - which says objects don't exist in their own right - and how it could unlock major progress in fundamental physics
29 December 2021
The Large Hadron Collider has been in a coincidental lockdown during the pan-demic for planned up-grades, but it will soon be back online and hunting for new physics
2 September 2021
The physicists at CERN still rely on tape for the long-term storage of data from the LHC, because it is more reliable and cheaper than hard discs or flash storage
24 March 2021
The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider has seen "tantalising hints" of physics beyond our standard understanding of the universe, but will the results stand up?
25 March 2020
The world we live in is overwhelmingly made up of particles of matter. But many of these particles have an antimatter equivalent: a particle identical in every respect, but with an opposite charge.

When CERN’s Proton Synchrotron switched on 60 years ago it ushered in a new era for particle physics
20 November 2019
The particle physics discoveries have dried up but in politically uncertain times CERN's cooperative model is an example to the world, says its chief Fabiola Gianotti
