Gordon Fraser, who has stepped down as editor of CERN Courier looks at how the physics scene has changed during his time working on the magazine.
The magazine CERN Courier is distributed all over the world. So-Mui Cheung of the Institute of Physics Publishing in Bristol, England, explains how this is achieved.
For the first time since its inception nearly 40 years ago, the European School of High-Energy Physics was held in Switzerland at Beatenberg in the Bernese Oberland.
The first school of high-energy physics organized jointly by CERN and CLAF (Centro latinoamericano de física), Rio de Janeiro was held in Itacuruçá, Brazil on 6-19 May and it hopefully marked the o...
A recent instrumentation school held near Cape Town, South Africa, reflected the increasing worldwide appeal of fundamental physics. The first such school to be held on the African continent, it gen...
CERN has shown how international collaboration in science works. Different national attitudes complement and reinforce each other, but this needs to be experienced first.
An 18 minute video entitled The ATLAS Experiment has been declared overall winner of the 2000 MIF-Sciences Scientific Film Box Office contest. The award-winning film explains how more than 1800 phys...
Scientific communication is now virtually instantaneous, with scientists able to download book-quality versions of papers. High-energy physics has been in the eye of this publishing storm - witness t...
While international collaboration has become the backbone of Big Science, national undercurrents could erode these achievements. Thomas Walcher looks at some of the potential problems for physics jo...
CERN always has plenty of visitors, but never more so than in the summer, when the itinerant population is boosted by several hundred students from CERN member states and further afield.
