Read article 'SESAME announces call for proposals'
SESAME, the pioneering synchrotron facility for the Middle East and neighbouring countries, located in Jordan, has announced its first call for proposals for experiments. A third-generation light sour...
Read article 'Galactic map sheds light on dark energy'
The map shows galaxies being pulled towards each other by dark matter, while on much larger scales it reveals the effect of dark energy ripping the universe apart.
Read article 'New super-heavy elements find names'
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has announced the provisional names of four new super-heavy elements that complete the seventh row of the periodic table. The researchers ...
Read article 'Hitomi probes turbulence in galaxy cluster'
With its very first observation, Japan’s Hitomi X-ray satellite has discovered that the gas in the Perseus cluster of galaxies is much less turbulent than expected.
Read article 'Record-breaking production at the LHC'
The past few weeks have been a record-breaking period for the LHC, with the machine now delivering long fills with unprecedented luminosity. Following the interruption in late May due to problems with...
Read article 'CMS highlights from the fourth LHCP conference'
The search for new physics in 13 TeV proton collisions continues in earnest, with six new results presented at LHCP.
Read article 'ATLAS clocks rare decay of B mesons into muon pairs'
The decays of the B0s and B0 into muon pairs represent an important test of the Standard Model. Such decays take place through a flavour-changing neutral current process, which occurs only through loo...
Read article 'LHCb updates Bs oscillation measurement'
The LHCb experiment has recently made the most precise measurement yet of the asymmetry in oscillations between the matter and antimatter versions of Bs mesons. The measurement exploits the full LHCb ...
Read article 'ALICE separates hot and cold nuclear effects'
In the early stages of a high-energy collision, high-pT partons can be created, before producing sprays of hadrons that are measured experimentally as jets. Not only do high-pT partons carry informati...
