A sophisticated electrostatic trap at CERN’s ISOLDE facility could help researchers probe the chemical reactivity of the rarest and least understood elements
A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical calculations are needed to determine whether new physics is at play
The first high-energy collisions between light nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and offer up a new tool to study the extreme state of matter produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang
