In it for the long haul
We have conquered the easiest challenges in fundamental physics, says Nima Arkani-Hamed. The case for building the next major collider is now more compelling than ever.
Good strategy demands the right balance
As the second update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics gets under way, Tatsuya Nakada reflects on the experience of the previous update in 2013.
Understanding naturalness
The last few years have seen an explosion of ideas concerning naturalness, but we’re only at the beginning of our understanding, says theorist Nathaniel Craig.
Fixing gender in theory
It is high time we addressed the low representation of women in high-energy theoretical physics, says Marika Taylor.
Quantum thinking required
There will be no universal quantum computer on which we will be able to compile our C++ code and then magically run it faster, explains Federico Carminati.
Preserving European unity in physics
As the EPS turns 50, building scientific bridges across political divides remains as vital as ever, argues Rüdiger Voss.
Lessons from the accelerator frontier
Lucio Rossi recounts how, in contrast to the LHC, HL-LHC has been a partnership with other institutions since the very beginning.
A golden age for neutrinos
CERN's Albert De Roeck explains how, 20 years since the discovery of neutrino oscillations, a complete understanding is within our grasp.
Colliding visions drive success
Geoffrey Taylor is chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators.
We need to talk about the Higgs
Tim Gershon of LHCb argues that apparently harmless academic discussions risk evolving into a negative outlook for the field.
