ALICE’s dark side

Precision measurements of the production and annihilation of light antinuclei are sharpening the search for dark matter.

Exploring nuclei at the limits

Studies using traps and lasers not only help researchers understand nuclear structure, but also offer new ways to look for physics beyond the Standard Model.

ESS under construction

The European Spallation Source will provide neutron beams 100 times brighter than those from reactor sources, enabling new research into material properties and fundamental physics.

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have not only discovered a new particle, argues Yosef Nir, but also laid bare the underpinnings of electroweak interactions and uncovered the first evidence for a new ...

Tetraquarks back in the spotlight

A hidden-double-charm tetraquark observed recently by LHCb has reinvigorated the debate over whether tetraquarks are pairs of mesons or pairs of diquarks.

Tuning in to neutrinos

A new generation of accelerator and reactor experiments is opening an era of high-precision neutrino measurements.

The search for leptonic CP violation

Boris Kayser explains how neutrino physicists are now closing in on a crucial piece of evidence on the origin of the matter–antimatter asymmetry observed in the Universe.

Neutron sources join the fight against COVID-19

Advanced neutron facilities such as the Institut Laue-Langevin are gearing up to enable a deeper understanding of the structural workings of SARS-CoV-2.
