CERN to host Europe’s flagship open access publishing platform
In an important step for open science, CERN has been selected to host a new phase of Open Research Europe (ORE), an initiative supported by the European Commission and a new funding consortium of European national funding agencies and research organisations. Aligned with the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access (2022)[1], the initiative is a

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

BASE experiment at CERN succeeds in transporting antimatter
The experiment successfully transported a trap filled with antiprotons across CERN’s main site, a remarkable first step towards delivering antimatter to other European laboratories
