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 ...

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 ...

Alexander Lenz argues that the charm quark is an experimental and theoretical enigma that has the potential to shed light on the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Threading the needle The ...

Vivian Poulin asks if the tension between a direct measurement of the Hubble constant and constraints from the early universe could be resolved by new physics. On large scales the dominant motion of ...

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 ...

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 ...
