First-ever collisions of oxygen at the LHC
The Large Hadron Collider gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the next few days
European project to make web search more open and ethical
The OpenWebSearch.eu consortium, which includes CERN, has released a pilot of the first federated, pan-European Open Web Index, paving the way for a new generation of unbiased and ethical search engines
AI enhances Higgs boson’s charm
The CMS collaboration presents a new search for the decay of a Higgs boson into charm quarks, bringing physicists closer to unravelling how this unique particle endows matter with mass
ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC
Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei
ATLAS gets under the hood of the Higgs mechanism
The detection of longitudinally polarised W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is an important step towards understanding how the primordial electroweak symmetry broke, giving rise to the masses of elementary particles
CERN signs a joint Statement of Intent with Canada
The Statement of Intent between CERN and Canada concerns future planning for large research infrastructure facilities, and novel and advanced techniques and tools
