LHCb sheds light on two pieces of the matter–antimatter puzzle
The collaboration has found evidence of CP violation in decays of baryons and in decays of beauty hadrons into charmonium particles

Bringing black hole jets down to Earth
The Fireball collaboration has used CERN’s HiRadMat facility to produce an analogue of the jets of matter and antimatter that stream out of some black holes and neutron stars

MoEDAL zeroes in on magnetic monopoles
The latest searches conducted by the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider considerably shrink the theoretical arenas in which the hunt for magnetic monopoles can continue
