Dream machine
Muon colliders are both precision and discovery machines, but significant R&D is required before they can be considered candidates for a next collider.
Energy efficiency – a new frontier
Major savings in the energy consumption and cost of accelerators are there for the taking, with potential impact beyond particle physics.
Addressing the outstanding questions
At the European Strategy for Particle Physics, talks covered key questions in the field, and the accelerator, detector and computing technologies necessary to tackle them.
Pushing the limits on supersymmetry
Despite the theory’s many appealing features, searches for SUSY at the LHC and elsewhere have so far yielded only exclusion limits.
Boosting searches for fourth-generation quarks
If the new "T" quarks exist, they are expected to decay to a quark and a W, Z or Higgs boson.
ALICE sheds new light on high-pT suppression
These results demonstrate that with the correct treatment of biases from the parton–parton interactions the observed suppression in Pb–Pb collisions is consistent with results from p–Pb collisio...
New pentaquarks resolved by LHCb
The LHCb data also confirm that the structure previously reported by the collaboration in 2015 has now been resolved into two narrow, overlapping peaks.
Serbia becomes CERN Member State
Ever since the early days of CERN, the Serbian scientific community has made strong contributions to CERN’s projects.
Welcome to the Science Gateway
On 8 April, CERN unveiled plans for a major new facility for scientific education and outreach.
First images of the centre of a galaxy
On 10 April, researchers working on the Event Horizon Telescope released the first direct image of a black hole.
