Particle Accelerator Tech from CERN now Treats Brain Tumors

Timepix3 was originally designed for particle detection for giant accelerators like the one at CERNCERNTransitioning from colossal 26 km (16 miles) particle accelerators to operating rooms for brain surgeries, a particle detector initially engineered by physicists at CERN is now employed by researchers in Germany to enhance the precision and safety of brain tumor...

First Detection of Exotic ‘X’ Particles in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Physicists have found evidence of rare X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The findings could redefine the kinds of particles that were abundant in the early universe. Credit: CERNIn the initial millionths of a second after the Big Bang, our universe was an agitated pull...
