Radiopharmaceuticals based on novel radionuclides have, for the first time, reached blockbuster proportions.
On 24 March 2026, the BASE collaboration sent 92 antiprotons on a test loop around CERN’s Meyrin site, achieving the first controlled and reversible transport of antimatter.
On 6 February 2026, beams of oxygen ions circulated through the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory for the last time.
The CMS collaboration reported an excess of top-antitop pairs in a new decay channel, consistent with the formation of a fleeting quasi-bound state.
Fewer than one in 10 billion charged kaons decay to a pion and a neutrino-antineutrino pair. NA62 has now measured this rate with 40% smaller uncertainty than before.
The Electroweak session of the 60th Rencontres de Moriond gathered around 140 participants in the Alpine town of La Thuile, Italy, from 15 to 22 March.
