Some of the most compelling questions in particle physics today are to do with the Higgs boson and supersymmetry (SUSY). In the summer of 1973, an experiment at the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN ...

When Francesca Luoni logs on each morning at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia, she’s thinking about something few of us ever consider: how to keep astronauts safe from the invisible hazards ...

The Laboratory Directors Group has published guidance on evaluating the carbon impact of accelerator projects.

Around 150 researchers gathered at CERN from 1 to 5 September 2025, for the annual meeting of the Invisibles network.

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

Miro Andrea Preger, a distinguished accelerator physicist in the Accelerator Division of the Frascati National Laboratories, passed away on 1 September 2025.

Subatomic physics has shaped both the conduct of war and the treatment of cancer. Joseph Rotblat, who left the Manhattan Project on moral grounds and later advanced radiotherapy, embodies this dual ...

In lead collisions at the LHC, some of the strongest electromagnetic fields in the universe bombard the inside of the beam pipe with radioactive gold. By following the collision fragments, John Jowett ...

The first Workshop on the Impact of Higgs Studies on New Theories of Fundamental Interactions took place on the Island of Capri, Italy, from 6 to 10 October 2025.

Orthodox quantum mechanics is empirically flawless, but founded on an awkward interface between quantum systems and classical probes. In this feature, Carlo Rovelli – himself the originator of the ...

David Wallace argues for the ‘decoherent view’ of quantum mechanics, where at the fundamental level there is neither probability nor wavefunction collapse – and for its purest incarnation, the ...

Automated space telescopes are inspiring a new generation of particle accelerators that are primarily operated by AI. Verena Kain highlights four ways machine learning is already making the LHC more ...
