- 1Particle Accelerators Could Cut Nuclear Waste Danger to Centuries▼Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Energy Lasts for 100,000 Years but Particle Accelerators Could Slash That Timeline to a Few Centuries
Scientists are highlighting a proposal to use particle accelerators to transmute long-lived radioactive waste from nuclear energy, potentially reducing its hazardous lifespan from around 100,000 years to just a few centuries. The idea, known as accelerator-driven transmutation, is being discussed as a way to ease one of nuclear power's biggest drawbacks: the need to store spent fuel safely for many millennia.
- 2CERN begins disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider●Menurut saya dunia beruntung karena eropa masih peduli sama hal ini. CERN has begun disconnecting the Large Hadron Colli
CERN has started disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator near Geneva. The move is drawing reaction from science watchers, with one observer calling the world lucky that Europe still cares about fundamental research. Commenters see the shutdown as a significant moment for particle physics and are debating what comes next for European big science.
- 3Large Hadron Collider Shutdown Process Underway▼The Disconnection of the Large Hadron Collider Has Begun
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has begun its shutdown, or disconnection, marking the start of a planned pause in operations of the world's largest particle accelerator. The process involves powering down and decommissioning key systems. The shutdown is expected to allow upgrades that will boost the collider's luminosity for future physics runs, though no detailed timeline was given.
- 4Quantum simulator captures process that breaks quark strings▼Quantum simulator captures a strange process that can break quark strings
Researchers report that a quantum simulator has captured a strange process capable of breaking quark strings, the bonds that hold quarks together inside particles. The experiment offers a way to observe string-breaking, a phenomenon in quantum chromodynamics that is otherwise out of reach for classical computers and conventional particle accelerators. Physicists say such simulations could deepen understanding of how matter behaves under extreme conditions.

Brazil's CNPEM research centre and CERN are working together on magnet technology for a proposed 91-kilometre particle collider. The collaboration ties Brazilian scientific institutions into CERN's long-term plans for next-generation accelerator hardware, an area where magnet performance is a core technical challenge. The partnership highlights growing international participation in future collider projects.
- 6Polish Institute NCBJ Leads Neutrino Study At LHC▼NCBJ Leads Study Of Neutrino Scattering At The Large Hadron Collider
The National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) is leading a study of neutrino scattering at the Large Hadron Collider. The work examines how neutrinos interact with matter at the highest collision energies available, a regime previously inaccessible to dedicated neutrino experiments. Researchers say the findings could sharpen understanding of the weak force and improve modelling of particle collisions at CERN's flagship accelerator.
