5 Life Changing Discoveries of The Large Hadron Collider

Andrew Alpin

Ever wondered what happens when you slam particles together at nearly the speed of light? You’re not alone. Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland, a massive machine has been doing exactly that since 2008, and what scientists have found inside this colossal tunnel is rewriting our understanding of reality itself. isn’t just a ...

How Alice Discovered The Conversion of Lead into Gold At The LHC

How Alice Discovered The Conversion of Lead into Gold At The LHC

Andrew Alpin

You’ve probably heard of alchemists, those medieval dreamers obsessed with turning dull lead into shimmering gold. For centuries, they tried and failed. What they didn’t know back then was that chemistry alone could never achieve their goal. Chemical reactions shuffle electrons around, but they can’t touch the core of an atom. The nucleus is where ...

Beauty Particle Discovery: Unlocking New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider

April Joy Jovita

Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape our understanding of the universe. The detection of charge-parity (CP) violation in beauty-lambda baryons, a short-lived cousin of protons and neutrons, offers new insights into why matter dominates over antimatter in the cosmos. The Significance of CP Violation CP violation ...

What Happens When Matter Meets Antimatter?

What Happens When Matter Meets Antimatter?

Gargi Chakravorty

The universe contains secrets that would sound like pure fiction if they weren’t backed by decades of scientific research. Picture this: somewhere in a laboratory right now, scientists are creating tiny amounts of the most dangerous and powerful substance known to humanity. and antimatter collide, the particles destroy each other, with a huge energy release. ...

8 Reasons Why The Higgs Boson So Important: The God Particle Explained

8 Reasons Why The Higgs Boson So Important: The God Particle Explained

Jan Otte

Ever wonder why physicists went to such extraordinary lengths to find a single particle? Picture this: building the world’s most complex machine, spanning miles underground across two countries, all to catch a glimpse of something that exists for less than a trillionth of a second. This isn’t science fiction; this is the real story of ...

Quantum Entanglement: The Spooky Science Einstein Couldn't Explain

Quantum Entanglement: The Spooky Science Einstein Couldn’t Explain

Andrew Alpin

Picture this: somewhere in the universe, two particles are dancing to a cosmic rhythm that defies everything you think you know about reality. When one spins up, the other spins down. When one changes direction, its partner responds instantly. Miles, continents, or even light-years might separate them, yet they remain forever connected in a mysterious ...

Paraparticles: The Third Kingdom of Quantum Matter That Could Redefine Physics

Suhail Ahmed

In the quiet confines of a pandemic-era dorm room, a graduate student’s mathematical curiosity stumbled upon something extraordinary: a solution so peculiar it hinted at a fundamental oversight in our understanding of quantum reality. What Zhiyuan Wang discovered that afternoon in 2021 would eventually challenge a cornerstone of modern physics: the strict division of all ...

Beneath the Ice: Antarctica Emits Mysterious Radio Pulses That Shouldn’t Exist — Are They Clues to Dark Matter?

Jan Otte

Deep under Antarctica’s frozen surface, something unworkable is happening. Scientists have found odd radio pulses from below the ice signals that violate accepted physics rules. Captured by instruments floating eighteen miles (29km) above the continent, these enigmatic emissions seem to start at angles thirty degrees below the surface, a path that should be physically impossible. ...
