First observation of single top quark production with W and Z bosons
This incredibly rare phenomenon, observed at the CMS experiment, can help probe the fundamental forces of nature
-
Ion recycling to illuminate the heaviest elements
A sophisticated electrostatic trap at CERN’s ISOLDE facility could help researchers probe the chemical reactivity of the rarest and least understood elements
-
Molecules of pear-shaped atomic nuclei bear fruit
A new ISOLDE study of molecules containing pear-shaped atomic nuclei helps shape future research aimed at testing fundamental symmetries of nature

European Strategy update enters final straight
The completion of the Physics Briefing Book on 2 October marks a major milestone towards the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics
-
Searching for new physics with beauty particles
A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical calculations are needed to determine whether new physics is at play
-
Shape-shifting collisions probe secrets of early Universe
The first high-energy collisions between light nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and offer up a new tool to study the extreme state of matter produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang
-
A quantum leap for antimatter measurements
Demonstration of first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries
-
ATLAS closes in on rare Higgs decays
The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon.
-
Elusive romance of top-quark pairs observed at the LHC
The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a fleeting union
-
Venice event brings future of particle physics into focus
Discussions this week at the Open Symposium of the European Strategy for Particle Physics demonstrate strong progress towards ensuring that CERN remains a world leader in collider physics and technology
