Experts from UK Research and Innovation have contributed to a search tool newly launched by Google that aims to help scientists, policy makers and other user groups more easily find the data required for their work and their stories, or simply to satisfy their intellectual curiosity.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) at Daresbury Laboratory is celebrating 20 years of bringing inspirational science talks to the general public.

UK researchers have played a key role in the first successful acceleration of electrons using a wave generated by protons zipping through a plasma.  The breakthrough by the AWAKE (Advanced WAKEfield Experiment) collaboration at CERN could radically change the design of future particle accelerators.

UK particle physicists are celebrating that the ATLAS Collaboration experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has – at long last – observed the Higgs boson decaying into a pair of bottom (b) quarks.

In a paper published in the journal Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, reports that it has literally taken antimatter to a new level by observing the Lyman-alpha electronic transition in the antihydrogen atom, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen, for the first time.

The government has updated its information for UK applicants to Horizon 2020, the European Union’s flagship programme for science and innovation.

Electrically charged volcanic ash short-circuited Earth’s atmosphere in 1815, causing global poor weather and potentially contributing to Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, says new research.

UK astronomers, working with colleagues in the USA, have found evidence that the faintest satellite galaxies orbiting our own Milky Way galaxy are amongst the very first that formed in our Universe.
