Kaonic hydrogen casts new light on strong dynamics
Hadronic bound systems with strange quarks, such as kaonic hydrogen, are well suited for testing chiral dynamics, especially in view of the interplay between spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking...

ALICE measures the shape of head-on lead–lead collisions
One the many surprises to have emerged from studies of heavy-ion collisions at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and now at CERN's LHC concerns the extreme fluidity of the dense matt...
