Open-access publisher MDPI has announced Ursula Röthlisberger, professor of computational chemistry and biochemistry at the ...

Today, the field they opened is entering the era of precision measurements. The Higgs production rate measured across all channels after Run 2 of the LHC agrees with the SM prediction within 5%, and ...

In the May 1966 issue, A J Herz and W O Lock described the development of nuclear-emulsion detectors, highlighting a CERN experiment that determined the magnetic moment of the Λ 0 baryon.

Science journalism has the difficult task of making complex ideas accessible without sacrificing the uncertainty, nuance and sometimes messiness that accompany scientific research. Yet when it ...

Norman McCubbin was a Renaissance man, broad in interests and expertise. Credit: P Sandercock To the shock of family, colleagues and friends, Norman McCubbin died suddenly at his home in Oxford on 22 ...

A report from the CMS experiment. Fourteen years of measurements have shown the Higgs boson to behave exactly as the Standard Model (SM) prescribes. However, the data remain compatible with a bound ...

The development at CERN of magnesium diboride cables and other advanced superconducting systems for the High-Luminosity LHC is also driving applications beyond fundamental research, describes Amalia ...

What is the fate of the universe? Why is there more matter than antimatter? What lurks beyond the Standard Model? Valentina Cairo and Steven Lowette explore the physics reach of the High-Luminosity ...

Louis Lyons traces the origins of the “five sigma” criterion in particle physics, and asks whether it remains a relevant marker for claiming the discovery of new physics. Disentanglement A Jackson ...

From targets to absorbers, beam-intercepting devices are vital to CERN’s accelerator complex. Marco Calviani describes the major upgrades taking place to prepare for the high-luminosity LHC, and the ...

Oliver James of DNEG, which produced the striking black hole in the film Interstellar, describes the science behind visual effects and the challenges in this fast-growing industry. Gargantua A variant ...
