The seed that led CERN to relinquish ownership of the web in 1993 was planted when the Organization formally came into being.
Solving the challenges of sharing, reproducing and reusing results in particle physics seems more feasible than ever thanks to recent technological developments.
The well-established governance, licensing and collaborative mechanisms of
open-source software set a standard for open-science movements.
While poring over increasingly voluminous datasets, the LHC collaborations are making sure that students and scientists of tomorrow can revisit the ground-breaking analyses of today.
The European Commission is embarking on an ambitious project called Plan S to make all scientific publications open access from 2020, but particle physics is ahead of the game.
New technologies can be used to give every human being secure and sovereign control over their own digital identity, argues Monique Morrow.
We have conquered the easiest challenges in fundamental physics, says Nima Arkani-Hamed. The case for building the next major collider is now more compelling than ever.
Newly published results from the MINOS+ experiment at Fermilab in the US cast fresh doubts on the existence of the sterile neutrino – a hypothetical fourth neutrino flavour that would constitute physics beyond the Standard […]
