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
CERN launches Generation Higgs, its new cultural season, with Cédric Klapisch on 25 September
With Generation Higgs, CERN honours the young minds already shaping today’s scientific landscape
CERN and Pro Helvetia extend “Connect” collaboration and launch Connect Argentina residency
Artists Juan Sorrentino and Céline Manz will jointly complete a dual residency at CERN and the Pierre Auger Observatory as the artists selected for Connect Argentina

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
