LHCb observes a new decay mode of the charmed beauty meson
The result has implications for future searches for rare beauty meson decays and for the interpretation of results from the Fermilab g-2 experiment

AEgIS experiment paves the way for new set of antimatter studies by laser-cooling positronium
In cooling positronium with laser light for the first time, AEgIS may also have taken the first step towards a matter–antimatter system that emits laser-like gamma-ray light

Hearing the sound of quark–gluon plasma
The CMS collaboration has measured the speed of sound in the quark–gluon plasma more precisely than ever before, offering new insights into this extremely hot state of matter
-
Charm is better than beauty at going with the flow
New ALICE measurements shed light on the dynamics of charm and beauty particles in quark–gluon plasma
