Beauty baryons strike again
The LHCb experiment has observed new beauty-baryon states, consistent with theoretical expectations for excited Ωb− baryons.

ALICE probes extreme electromagnetic fields
When fewer than half the available lead nucleons merge and form a quark–gluon plasma, the spectators generate the strongest electromagnetic fields yet probed by scientists.
