The Latest Breaking News from CERN

In 1978, Russian physicist Anatoli Bugorski survived a proton beam passing through his head. The shocking result: one side of his face appeared frozen in time while the other continued to age

Anatoli Bugorski survived one of the strangest particle accelerator accidents ever recorded. In 1978, a high-energy proton beam from the Soviet U-70 accelerator passed through his head. The accident caused severe radiation damage. It also caused permanent hearing loss, facial paralysis and seizures. Yet Bugorski lived. He later completed his…

America cancelled the world's most powerful particle collider, leaving a 22.5-km tunnel hidden beneath Texas for more than 30 years

A vast underground tunnel system stretching 22.5 kilometres still lies hidden beneath the fields of Texas, marking the unfinished remains of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), one of the most ambitious science projects ever attempted in the United States. Designed to become the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the collider…

When scientists found the 'ghost' haunting CERN's most powerful accelerator

For over two decades, scientists at CERN observed unexplained particle losses in their Super Proton Synchrotron. A new study has finally mapped this invisible "ghost" resonance, a phenomenon caused by magnetic system imperfections. This breakthrough, matching theoretical predictions, promises to improve particle accelerator performance and aid future discoveries.
