Exploring new ways to see the Higgs boson
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented their latest results on new signatures for detecting the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider
Neutron stars show their cores
A combination of theoretical calculations and information from astronomical observations indicates that massive neutron stars can contain cores filled with free quarks
Cosmic rays throw up surprises, again
Cosmic-ray data collected by the AMS detector on the International Space Station again challenge conventional theory of cosmic-ray origin and propagation
CERN collaborations present new results on particles with charm quarks
The ALICE, CMS and LHCb collaborations present new measurements that show how particles containing charm quarks can serve as “messengers” of hadrons and the quark–gluon plasma, carrying information about these forms of matter
Fresh antimatter study by ALICE will help with search for dark matter
The study of light antinuclei – from creation to annihilation – will bolster future indirect dark matter searches
ISOLDE scores a first with laser spectroscopy of short-lived radioactive molecules
The result represents an essential step towards using these molecules for fundamental physics research and beyond
