The power of objects

Science centres impress with all kinds of high-tech exhibits, but often it is a simple object or piece of an experiment that holds the most fascinating stories.

Hands on, minds on, goggles on!

At CERN Science Gateway, the new education labs offer students and visitors to chance to conduct their own experiments.

Elevating the performance of ionization vacuum gauges with simulation

Multiphysics modelling underpinned development of an advanced ionization gauge for pressure measurements in high-vacuum and ultrahigh-vacuum systems.

ALICE ups its game for sustainable computing

Volker Lindenstruth goes behind the scenes of a completely new computing model that allows the ALICE collaboration to merge online and offline data processing into a single software framework.

The W boson’s midlife crisis

Chris Hays describes recent progress of the Tevatron+LHC W-mass combination working group towards understanding a surprisingly high measurement from CDF.

Gravitational waves: a golden era

Azadeh Maleknejad and Fabrizio Rompineve explain why precision measurements of the gravitational-wave spectrum are essential to explore particle physics beyond the reach of colliders.

New horizons in SRF: beyond the HL-LHC

Frank Gerigk, leader of CERN’s radio-frequency group, assesses progress on the SRF R&D roadmap and the exacting fabrication and performance requirements already coming into view.
