13 new projects at CERN funded by Europe in 2026
The projects will support a wide variety of activities, including advancing accelerator technologies and creating access networks for medical and aerospace research
CERN to host flagship European open access publishing platform
Open Research Europe provides a free publishing venue for a wide range of publicly funded research
CMS strengthens the case for toponium
A new independent measurement by the CMS experiment at the LHC is consistent with the existence of the most massive composite particle ever observed, the momentary union of a top quark and its antiquark
ALICE sees new sign of primordial plasma in proton collisions
The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions
ATLAS sets strong limits on supersymmetry
Using machine-learning techniques, the ATLAS Collaboration has searched deep for signs of particles that could help answer some of the greatest mysteries of physics
LHCb Collaboration discovers new proton-like particle
Composed of two charm quarks and one down quark, the doubly charmed particle is four times heavier than a proton
Accelerator Report: The 2026 run will be short but intense
Every day counts, so the LHC operations teams have mapped out a precise sequence of running phases to maximise the physics output during the machine’s final months
New prototyping workshop opens at IdeaSquare
The CERN community is welcome to put their innovative ideas to the test in ‘The Forge’
Crystal shadowing to reduce beam losses
A new system made of precisely aligned thin, bent crystal arrays will greatly improve particle beams sent to fixed-target experiments in CERN’s North Area, while also protecting sensitive equipment
Computer Security: Privacy vs security
In CERN’s academic environment, cutting-edge research relies on an open yet to-be-protected digital ecosystem
