Do particles and their antiparticles behave in the same way? Even tiny differences could be amplified over astronomical distances to produce very large effects. Read article 'Linear collider physics: ...

The freshly-completed upgrade of the detectors and the harvest of Pb–Pb collision data expected in Run 3 will further improve the measurements.

Until now, ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) were thought to be black holes, because their high luminosity implied a mass exceeding by far the maximal mass of a neutron star. The most luminous of th ...

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further ...

In March, CERN selected a new experiment called SHiP to search for hidden particles using high-intensity proton beams from the SPS. Read article 'Probing resonant production of Higgs bosons' No known ...

The meeting was inspired by several recent proposals to take advantage of the unique environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC to search for new phenomena. Since the first school in 2001, there ...

For optical astronomy, the space station will be accompanied by the Xuntian telescope, which can be translated to “survey the ...

On 4 August 2024, the great physicist Tsung-Dao Lee (also known as T D Lee) passed away at his home in San Francisco, aged 97 ...

Sheldon Glashow recalls the events surrounding a remarkable decade of model building and discovery between 1964 and 1974.

Inspired by high-dimensional data and the ideals of open science, high-energy physicists are using artificial intelligence to ...
