Austrian synchrotron debuts carbon-ion cancer treatment
MedAustron becomes one of six centres worldwide to treat tumours with carbon ions.
Supergravity pioneers share $3m Breakthrough Prize
Marriage of supersymmetry and general relativity continues to impact theoretical physics.
Clocking the merger of two white dwarfs
As two white dwarfs orbited one another they slowly lost momentum through the emission of gravitational waves.
Topological avatars of new physics
A field configuration is topologically non-trivial if it exhibits the topology of a “mathematical knot” in some space, real or otherwise.
Granada symposium thinks big
The open symposium of the European Strategy for Particle Physics revealed a vibrant field in flux as it grapples with how to attack the next big questions.
Studying neutron stars in the laboratory
The ALICE collaboration is now using the scattering between particles produced in collisions at the LHC to constrain interaction potentials in a new way.
We’ve been here before…
Tales of colliders contained in 60 illustrious years of CERN Courier offer a rich perspective on the strategic decisions facing the field today.

My contemporary and my friend
André Martin witnessed some of the key moments in Gell-Mann’s scientific life, and became a close friend along the way.
High-energy networking
Two years since it was established, the CERN Alumni Network is proving a valuable careers resource, especially for young physicists who move out of academia, write Laure Esteveny a...
Signatures of the Artist
Steven Vigdor’s idea is that deviations from perfect symmetry are not “bugs”, but are beautiful and essential.
Guido Altarelli’s legacy
There can be little doubt that a conspicuous part of the famous triumph of quantum field theory must be ascribed to the depth and breadth of Guido Altarelli’s contributions.
Radio-euphoria rebooted?
In this book Obodovskiy shows that radio-phobia causes far greater harm to public health and economic development than the radiation itself.
Lessons from LEP
The Large Electron Positron collider changed particle physics forever. As the field eyes up the next major collider, former CERN Director-General Herwig Schopper describes what it ...
Reflections on Granada
The open symposium of the European Strategy for Particle Physics stimulated much lively discussion about the future of particle physics and the central role of CERN, writes Eckhard...
Tricky component? Use 3D printing…
Embedded radio-frequency (RF) cavities such as those featured in spiral-shaped cooling channels are one example.
Mexico hosts dynamic LHCP week
Studies involving unusual signatures were popular at the Mexico conference.
Heavy ions and hidden sectors
The meeting was inspired by several recent proposals to take advantage of the unique environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC to search for new phenomena.
High-energy physics flourishes in Latin America
Since the first school in 2001, there has been a dramatic increase in the involvement of Latin-American groups in experimental HEP.
FuSuMaTech initiative levels up
Projects include new designs for MRI gradient coils, the design of 14 and 16 T MRI magnets, and a conceptual design for new mammography magnets.
