Read article 'Actinide series shown to end with lawrencium'
Scientists have determined the ionisation potentials from fermium to lawrencium, confirming the filling of the 5f shell in the heavy actinides.
Read article 'China and Europe bid for post-LHC collider'
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC in the summer of 2012 set particle physics on a new course of exploration.
Read article 'Exploring the spin of top-quark pairs'
The Standard Model makes precise predictions for the frequency at which the spin of the top quark is aligned with the spin of the top antiquark.
Read article 'Real-time triggering boosts heavy-flavour programme'
LHCb has been flooded by b- and c-hadrons due to the large beauty and charm production cross-sections within the experiment’s acceptance.
Read article 'Report summarises dark-sector exploration'
ATLAS has recently released a summary gathering the results from more than 20 experimental searches for dark matter and a first collider search for dark energy.

A visionary experimental particle physicist and co-founder of the Human Brain Project.
Read article 'LHCb constrains ultra-rare muonic B decay'
At first glance, measuring fully leptonic decays seems a step too far, since there is only one charged particle as a signature and no reconstructed B-decay vertex.
Read article 'Exploring how antimatter falls'
ALPHA-g and GBAR have begun campaigns to check whether antimatter falls under gravity at the same rate as matter.
Read article 'CMS weighs in on flavour anomalies'
Recent results from LHCb and other experiments appear to challenge the assumption of lepton-flavour universality.
