3 天之前 · Flying high China’s permanently crewed space station, Tiangong, which can be translated as “sky palace”, orbits at an altitude of 340 to 450 km and was completed in 2022 following its precursors Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2. Credit: China Manned Space Engineering Office Completed in 2022, China’s Tiangong space station represents one of the biggest projects in space exploration in recent ...

3 天之前 · Sensitivity to saturation In ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC, photons serve as a clean probe of gluon dynamics as a function of energy scale. Credit: D Dominguez/CERN-GRAPHICS-2023-008-1 Q uarks contribute less than 1% to the mass of protons and neutrons. This provokes an astonishing question: where does the other 99% of the mass of the visible universe come from?

2024年9月16日 · The past seven decades have seen remarkable cultural and technological changes. And CERN has been no passive observer. From modelling European cooperation in the aftermath of World War II to democratising information via the web and discovering a field that pervades the universe, CERN has nudged the zeitgeist more than once since its foundation in …
