What did the ancient world discover about the cosmos? What were the contributions of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo? How did the science of astronomy advance under Newton? And how did everything change again with the discoveries of special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics? With us to answer these questions is Sarah Alam Malik. Sarah is an expert on dark matter, and her work on large-scale experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider has placed her at the cutting edge of exploring the universe's mysteries and its fundamental laws. Today we discuss her new book entitled, A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it).

The Large Hadron Collider will be switched off on June 29th for a refurb. This marks the beginning of "Long Shutdown 3," a major 4-year hiatus dedicated to dismantling parts of the CERN ring to upgrade it into the much more powerful High-Luminosity LHC.

Denne gang dykker vi ned i noget der er helt fundamentalt for den måde vi forstår og beskriver verden på – nemlig de fire naturkræfter, der former vores verden og klistrer vores univers sammen. De fleste har nok hørt, at vi – indtil videre i hvert fald – kender fire naturkræfter: tyngdekraften, den elektromagnetiske kraft, den svage kernekraft og den stærke kernekraft. Og det er på baggrund af disse fire naturkræfter at alle teorier indenfor fysik er bygget op. Vi tager også et kig på noget af alt det arbejde der gøres nede på partikelacceleratoren Large Hadron Collider i CERN. Forskningen på LHC går grundlæggende ud på at forstå hvordan vores univers hænger sammen, og opfører sig på fundamentalt niveau. Her undersøges hvordan de mindste partikler i universet opfører sig, og ved at støde partikler sammen med meget høj hastighed kan man genskabe nogle af de betingelser der var til stede i det tidlige univers. Vi har besøg af lektor Troels C. Petersen fra Niels Bohr Institutet til en snak om naturkræfter og det arbejde som han og de andre partikelfysikere går og laver i de dybe tunneller på CERN. Lyt med

Following Jim Peebles' work on Cold Dark Matter, scientists began searching for the WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle). These particles are thought to interact through gravity but lack electrical charges or nuclear force interactions, making them invisible. The search has moved from telescopes to particle physics, with researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider attempting to create WIMPs through high-energy collisions. Simultaneously, underground laboratories globally search for rare instances where a WIMP might "bump" into an atomic nucleus. Computer simulations like IllustrisTNG are used to model the universe's evolution from the Big Bang. These simulations are highly successful at recreating the current universe only when CDM is included. Despite this success in theory and simulation, the physical particle has yet to be detected in any laboratory, leaving the nature of dark matter an open question. (4/8)1903 LANGELY AERODROME

This looks like a spaceship and just like a spaceship, this machine is helping scientists go where they've never gone before,这看起来像一艘宇宙飞船，正如宇宙飞船一样，这台机器正在帮助科学家前往他们从未涉足的领域，in the quest to decipher what science has never been able to explain, the origins of the universe.致力于破解科学至今无法解释的谜题——宇宙的起源。They can confirm the existence of the smallest particles that theoretical physicists have predicted, and accelerate protons, one of the building blocks of atoms to nearly the speed of light, and they can create antimatter.它们能够证实理论物理学家预言的最小粒子的存在，将原子基本构成之一的质子加速至接近光速，还能制造出反物质。But this doesn't mean they understand everything yet.但这并不意味着他们目前理解了一切。Scientists think that at the beginning of things, the so-called Big Bang, matter and antimatter, negative matter, were created in equal amounts.科学家们认为，在万物初始之时，即所谓的大爆炸时期，物质与反物质（负物质）是等量产生的。In principle if the difference between the two is only the charge, they should have just recombine and leave nothing but rejection, okay?原则上，如果两者之间的差异仅仅在于电荷，那么它们应该只是重新结合，除了相互排斥之外不会留下任何东西，对吗？However, we are here, I'm talking with you right now, so it means that at some point matter took over the antimatter, and this must be, because there are some differences between matter and antimatter that we don't know about.然而，我正在与你交谈， 这意味着物质在某种程度上接管了反物质，而这必然是因为物质与反物质之间存在一些我们尚不了解的差异。Searching for those differences is one of the tasks for the people at CMS, the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of four main research points around the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.寻找这些差异是紧凑渺子线圈（CMS）研究人员的任务之一，CMS是欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）大型强子对撞机周围四个主要研究点之一。Packets of protons race around the circle in beams traveling clockwise and counterclockwise.质子束以顺时针和逆时针方向绕着环形轨道飞驰。And when the physicists are ready, the beams are focused and made to collide at one of four experiment locations around the circle.当物理学家准备好后，粒子束会被聚焦，并引导至环形轨道上的四个实验地点之一进行碰撞。If I would collide the beam unfocused, the probability of my fingers colliding here is very low.如果我发射未聚焦的粒子束，就像我的手指这样，那么碰撞的概率是非常低的。And then on either end of the experiments, we will switch from focusing magnets so that the beams squeezes into a small dimension, and therefore, the probability of collision increases.在实验的两端，我们将切换聚焦磁铁，使粒子束压缩到更小的尺寸，从而增加碰撞的概率。Out of the 200 billion protons in the two beams rushing around the circuit, only 100 will collide.在环绕轨道飞驰的两束质子流中，2000亿个质子仅有100个会发生碰撞。But right now the Collider and the experiments around it are in the midst of a two-year shut down for maintenance and upgrades, something that happens every three years.但目前，大型强子对撞机及其周边的实验设备正处于为期两年的停机维护和升级阶段，这种维护每三年会进行一次。For VOA, that meant a chance to get a rare glimpse of a world not many get to see. For the scientists, it's a chance to recharge.对于美国之音来说，这意味着有机会一窥常人难以得见的秘境世界。对科学家而言，这正是一次难得的充电良机。I would say it for us it's an opportunity. We're looking at ways of making the detector better, repairing things, putting in new detectors, and preparing for the future runs, which the experiment will be running until we hope till 2035.对我们来说，这是一个机会。我们正在研究如何改进探测器、修复设备、安装新的探测器，以及为未来的实验运行做准备，我们希望这个实验能一直运行到2035年。The CMS collaboration includes some 4,000 scientists from more than 50 countries from all over Europe, from India, China, Korea, Egypt, other parts of the Middle East and Russia.CMS汇集了来自欧洲、印度、中国、韩国、埃及、中东其他地区以及俄罗斯等50多个国家的约4000名科学家。McBride says that while the scientists loved when the experiments confirmed their predictions, they also loved it when things don't match up,麦克布莱德说，虽然科学家们喜欢实验证实他们的预测，但当结果与预期不符时，他们同样感到兴奋，because that might be saying something very fundamental about how the universe is put together, because many things cannot yet be explained.因为这可能揭示了宇宙构成的基本原理，毕竟许多现象至今仍无法解释。

Daniel Whiteson is a particle physicist at UC Irvine and an active researcher at CERN's Large Hadron Collider — the largest machine ever built — where 5,000 scientists are using high-energy collisions to read the universe's secret menu. He co-hosts the show Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe, co-created an award-winning science show for preschoolers, and recently wrote a book asking whether aliens would even recognize our physics at all. His work sits at the collision point of experimental science, philosophy, and the biggest unanswered questions in physics — what everything is made of, why gravity is so weak, and whether the universe has a bottom.

Alongside the oil and gas stranded in the strait of Hormuz is another commodity vital to today's economy: helium. It is a critical element in all kinds of areas from MRI machines to the Large Hadron Collider, and even deep-sea diving. It is also integral to the AI boom. And this isn't the first time its fragile global supply chain has been threatened. So why is helium so useful, and what will happen if the shortage continues? Ian Sample hears from co-host Madeleine Finlay, and from Sophia Hayes, professor of chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis.

In 2016, a 13-year-old genius named Max Loughan went viral with an extraordinary claim: CERN destroyed our universe. Not with an explosion—but by shifting us all into a parallel reality. When scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider smashed particles together in 2012 and discovered the Higgs boson, Max believed the sheer energy tore a hole in spacetime, sliding humanity into a neighbouring universe almost identical to our own. Almost. The proof? The Mandela Effect. Millions of people remember Kit Kat having a hyphen. It never did. They remember C-3PO being all gold. He's always had a silver leg. They remember the Mona Lisa with no smile. She's always been smiling. They remember the Monopoly Man wearing a monocle. He never has. Are these false memories—or scars from our original universe? Max's theories spread across the internet, educating millions. Then, in 2018, he vanished. Social media went silent. No interviews. No updates. Some say he simply grew up and chose privacy. Others wonder if he knew too much. Did CERN's experiments break reality? Are we living in a parallel universe?

We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! – @realDonaldTrump (Apr 07, 2026, 6:06 AM) Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution.

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland have announced that they discovered a new subatomic particle. Roughly four times more massive than a standard proton, this short-lived piece of matter called Ξcc⁺(Xi-cc-plus) is like an extra-heavy proton, researchers say. Physicist Hassan Jawahery joins Host Flora Lichtman to unpack how the particle was found, and what its discovery means for theoretical physics.  Then, astronomer Eric Bellm describes a new alert system that could flag potentially significant changes in the southern night sky in real time. On its first night of testing at the Rubin Observatory in Chile, the system fired off 800,000 alerts. Guests: Dr. Hassan Jawahery is a distinguished university professor at the University of Maryland and a member of the LHCb consortium.  Dr. Eric Bellm is alert product group lead for the Rubin Observatory and a research associate professor at the University of Washington.

Matt Trump returns to CERN for a deep dive into the latest announcement from the Large Hadron Collider, where scientists claim to have discovered a new “doubly charmed” heavy proton. He walks through what this particle actually is, how it fits into quark theory, and why discoveries like this are considered incremental rather than revolutionary within the current standard model of physics. Along the way, Matt breaks down complex concepts like energy, particle composition, and how physicists use familiar words in highly specific ways that can easily confuse non-experts. He also revisits earlier discussions on CERN, the Higgs boson, and the broader narrative surrounding particle physics, separating foundational science from the folklore and speculation that often surrounds it.  

Episode 356 A truck carrying antimatter has been driving around the campus at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider. But why are scientists transporting this delicate and extremely expensive substance? Antimatter is regular matter's counterpart, first theorised in the 1920s. Producing and storing it has proved difficult, as it's prone to annihilating the moment it meets its opposite half. But CERN scientists found a way - and it's the only facility on Earth able to create these particles. Carrying just 92 antiprotons, this truck experiment is the first step in setting up an antimatter delivery service, allowing scientists to send little pieces of antimatter on trucks to labs around Europe. To discuss why an antimatter delivery service is even needed, Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet are joined by Alex Wilkins, who recently visited the lab and saw the antimatter factory in person. We also hear from the new director-general of CERN, Mark Thomson. To read more about these stories, visit https://www.newscientist.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's episode, we discuss whether CERN's Large Hadron Collider is just about particle physics or if, as some theorists suggest, it could be dabbling with “God particles,” portals to other dimensions, and spiritual forces we don't fully understand. Charlotte walks through claims that CERN sits on an ancient temple site to Apollo and prominently displays a statue of Shiva, using that symbolism to question the project's deeper motives. James frames the collider as a modern Tower of Babel—scientists probing endlessly downward into creation rather than looking up to God—and wonders aloud if humanity is “playing with fire” by smashing particles at such energies. The crew mix in pop‑culture parallels like The Man in the High Castle's Nazi‑victory dimension and portal tech, using them as metaphors for fears about opening two‑way doors between realms of demons, aliens, or unknown entities. In the back half, the conversation shifts toward how certain families and thinkers, including Trump in their view, seem wired to “see 20 steps ahead,” turning things like the Straits of Hormuz crisis and NATO burden‑sharing into tests that expose who really has skin in the game. Throughout, Charlotte, James, and Ben blend affectionate memories of mentors, playful marital conspiracies, and serious “follow the money or demons” skepticism into a fast‑moving chat about power, physics, and the unseen motives behind global events. Don't miss it!

In this interview, we explore the influence of major research institutions, transparency in global science, and the wider circles of power that have surrounded the Epstein investigation.Join Shaun Attwood for a thought-provoking conversation exploring science, power, and the unanswered questions people continue to ask.⸻

Luis and Angelo dive into one of the most important scientific discoveries in modern history – the Higgs boson, often called the “God Particle.”  In 2012, after decades of theory and trillions of high-speed particle collisions at the world's largest lab in Switzerland, a global team of more than 10,000 scientists confirmed the existence of an invisible field that gives fundamental particles the mass necessary to form the reality around us.  But what exactly is the Higgs field, and why does it matter for the existence of atoms, stars, and life itself?  The guys break down the Large Hadron Collider, the decades-long race to uncover the final missing piece of particle physics, and the deeper mysteries that remain – including dark matter, the origins of the universe, and whether reality itself – including consciousness – may be far more complex than we imagine.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set of instruments based at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory, and was designed to accelerate gold ions to near-light speed before collision. It was the second most powerful accelerator on the planet, second only to CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Since RHIC began running in 2000, scientists have used it to study the tiniest subatomic particles, which give insight into some of the universe's biggest questions. Brookhaven nuclear physicist Gene Van Buren joins Host Flora Lichtman to look back on the history of RHIC, what physicists have learned from the collider, and what lies ahead for particle physics.Guest: Dr. Gene Van Buren is a nuclear physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Things would be a lot simpler and a lot less interesting if charge parity existed in the universe, but there would be no one to appreciate that simplicity because we would not exist! New results from the Large Hadron Collider provide a hint at explaining why there is matter in the universe and it was not all eliminated in a dramatic annihilation of matter-antimatter collisions. So, that's a relief! And we have space news, meta-trivia, solar system news and more. Join us, won't you?

Munster Technological University (MTU) has become the first Irish institution to take a direct role in the world's largest scientific experiment at CERN - the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, as part of a global effort to uncover the fundamental secrets of the universe. The Government of Ireland confirmed that the country has become an Associate Member of CERN, with MTU now playing a leading role in the world's most powerful scientific machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Last year, MTU became Ireland's first Technical Associate Institute to join the ATLAS Collaboration, one of the LHC's flagship experiments that helped discover the Higgs boson particle in 2012. Of the 246 organisations worldwide analysing CERN-ATLAS data, only 17 are Technical Associate Institutes, placing MTU among a select group of institutes worldwide. MTU's contribution to CERN is focused on engineering critical systems for the ATLAS detector as it prepares for the upcoming "High-Luminosity" phase of the LHC. Senior Researcher Dr Manuel Caballero, MTU, and his team are building and testing the electrical panels and cables that will deliver power to the upgraded detectors, where every component must function to avoid disrupting experiments involving scientists across the world. The first batch of patch panels was successfully delivered to CERN after stringent testing. These play a crucial role in routing data. Once installed, they cannot be easily accessed. Reliability and performance testing are therefore crucial. While lecturer Paddy McGowan and his team at MTU are designing the delicate mechanical supports that will hold thousands of sensors, along with the cooling pipes and cables, all operating under extreme conditions deep underground. MTU is also contributing to the design of the core cooling system for these detectors. Dr Niall Smith, Head of Research and CERN-ATLAS lead, MTU, who emphasises that this work is about more than engineering, said: "This is about giving Irish staff, students, and industry the chance to be part of one of humanity's greatest scientific quests." Dr. Seán McSweeney, Dean of Engineering, serves as the deputy lead, with support from the Nimbus Research Centre and the Department of Mechanical, Manufacturing and Biomedical Engineering. ATLAS Spokesperson and CERN physicist Andreas Hoecker has said, "We are thrilled to welcome Munster Technological University to the international ATLAS Collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. MTU's innovative engineering expertise will be a tremendous asset as we prepare for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC. MTU is the first Irish research institution to join ATLAS, marking an exciting milestone." Through this work, Irish engineers and researchers at MTU are helping build the tools that may one day explain dark matter, the origins of the universe, and why it exists. MTU's involvement is inspiring the next generation of Irish scientists and engineers to dream bigger than ever before. To know more, please visit: https://home.cern/.

Atoms are the building blocks of our world. Many have been around since right after the Big Bang created the universe nearly 14 billion years ago. And if life on Earth is made of atoms that are from all the way back then... will those atoms keep existing forever? That's what CrowdScience Listener Rob in Australia would like to know. Caroline Steel investigates the immortality of atoms by travelling to CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory located along the border of France and Switzerland. There, theoretical physicist Matthew McCullough explains whether the smallest atoms can decay or survive the test of time. Physicist Marco van Leeuwen from Nikhef, the National Particle Physics Laboratory in the Netherlands, gives Caroline a behind-the-scenes tour of the ALICE experiment and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. She learns how atoms are smashed at incredibly high speeds, and whether that might spell the end of an atom. And all life on earth is made up of atoms, but how does a collection of tiny particles become a living being? Astrobiologist Betül Kaçar from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, breaks down how life works from an atomic point of view.

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Headline: Particle Physics and Simulations Hunt for the Elusive WIMP The concept of cold dark matter, championed by cosmologists like Jim Peebles, describes particles that interact primarily through gravity but lack electrical charge, meaning they don't interact with light, magnetism, or strong nuclear forces. Their only potential interaction is a rare "bump" into an atomic nucleus via the weak nuclear force. This led to the theoretical candidate known as the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). Experiments at facilities like CERN's Large Hadron Collider, with its massive underground detectors, attempt to create and detect these WIMPsthrough high-energy particle collisions, though none have been found yet. Complementing this, computer simulations, such as IllustrisTNG, successfully model the universe's evolution from its smooth beginning to its current clumpiness, but only when incorporating cold dark matter with specific properties, guiding the ongoing search. . 1957

The Large Hadron Collider has been the source of conspiracy theories from the moment it launched. Actually, from even before that. From time travelers to aliens, from black holes to sinister plots to take over the world. This week's Crackpot episode has it all!

The largest machine in the world is called the Large Hadron Collider built by CERN. Inside they collide billions of protons looking for sub-atomic matter to discover how the universe works. In this episode, we will cover what it is...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is back in the news, as it has duplicated alchemical magic by turning lead into gold. However, what happens to the Earth every time we use the powerful accelerator for these experiments? The Higgs Boson particle was discovered at CERN, and it became unstable. This would be one explanation as to why our planet seems to have been cast into an overlap dimension, and this could be the reason why everything seems to be so chaotic. We are being hit by one apocalyptic disaster after another, and now it is not a matter of if, but of when. Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis at 7 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

In this episode:00:46 A potato pangenomeResearchers have created a ‘pangenome' containing the genomes of multiple potato types, something they believe can help make it easier to breed and sequence new varieties. The potato's complicated genetics has made it difficult to sequence the plant's genome, but improvements in technology have allowed the team to combine sequences, allowing then to look for subtle differences in between varieties.Research Article: Sun et al.09:57 Research HighlightsHow ancient DNA analysis revealed that unusually bound medieval books are covered in sealskin, and top quarks and their antimatter counterparts are detected after nuclear smash-ups at the Large Hadron Collider.Research Highlight: Mystery of medieval manuscripts revealed by ancient DNAResearch Highlight: Top quarks spotted at mega-detector could reveal clues to early Universe12:30 The top cited twenty-first century research papersAnalysis from Nature reveals the 25 highest-cited papers published this century and explores why they are breaking records.

00:46 Complete sequencing of ape genomesResearchers have sequenced the complete genomes of six ape species, helping uncover the evolutionary history of our closest relatives and offering insights into what makes humans human. The genomes of chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan and siamang have been sequenced end-to-end, filling in gaps that have long eluded researchers.Research Article: Yoo et al.News: What makes us human?

Many particle accelerators that power huge experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN are radio-frequency accelerators, but they are large and limited in how strong their magnetic fields can be. The new work shows that accelerators that instead use plasma to accelerate particles could be a viable alternative and could be built at much smaller scales.Research article: Winkler et al.19:55 Briefing ChatA drug that makes blood poisonous to mosquitoes, and how an AI worked out how to solve key challenges in Minecraft by ‘imagining' solutions.Science Alert: Drug For Rare Disease Turns Human Blood Into Mosquito PoisonNature: AI masters Minecraft: DeepMind program finds diamonds without being taughtVote for us in this year's Webby AwardsVote for How whales sing without drowning, an anatomical mystery solvedVote for What's in a name: Should offensive species names be changed?
