In 1989, Rocky Kolb and Mike Turner published The Early Universe – a seminal book that offered a comprehensive introduction to the then-nascent field of particle cosmology, laying the groundwork for a ...

Cosmic correlations Radio astronomers use precise timing measurements of ultra-fast millisecond pulsars to search for the distinctive correlation signature created by a background of gravitational ...

DESY’s new chair, Beate Heinemann, reflects on the laboratory’s evolving role in science and society – from building next-generation accelerators to navigating Europe’s geopolitical landscape. DESY is ...

Nuria Catalan Lasheras and Igor Syratchev explain why klystrons are strategically important to the future of the field – and how CERN plans to boost their efficiency above 90%. Generating power ...

A report from the CMS experiment. Fig. 1. The data are consistent with the signal expected from a Υ meson decaying to a pair of tau leptons. The backgrounds are estimated using a polynomial (blue), ...

Since the discovery of the electron and proton over 100 years ago, physicists have observed a “zoo” of different types of particles. While some of these particles have been fundamental, like neutrinos ...

A report from the LHCb experiment. Fig. 1. The invariant mass of di-pions produced in UPC PbPb collisions. The inset shows the nuclear suppression factor compared to the GKZ model, to the STARlight ...

Antoni Shtipliyski offers advice on how early-career researchers can transition into machine-learning roles in industry. Flying high Antoni Shtipliyski is an engineering manager at Skyscanner, where ...

In the Standard Model (SM), W and Z bosons acquire mass and longitudinal polarisation through electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking, where the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism transforms Goldstone bosons ...
