Antihydrogen spectroscopy enters precision era
Measurements of the hydrogen’s spectral structure agree with theoretical predictions to a few parts in 1015. Researchers have long sought to match this precision for antihydrogen.

Charm oscillations precisely measured by LHCb
Direct searches for particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) have so far come up empty handed, but perhaps physicists can get luckier with indirect searches. Quantum mechanics allows neutral flavoured...

ATLAS focuses on Higgs-boson decays to vector bosons
The Higgs-boson decay to two W bosons (H → WW) is the second most common decay mode after its decay to two b quarks.

ALICE closes in on parton energy loss
In Pb-Pb collisions, the spectra are modified by the energy loss that the partons suffer when propagating in the quark-gluon plasma.
