James Robinson reflects on a journey from the ATLAS collaboration to the Environment and Sustainability programme at the Alan Turing Institute.

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner Triplet String (IT String), which mirrors the underground configuration ( CERN ...

Physics is beautiful in its ideas and in the people who pursue them across borders. What better, then, than for 16 laboratories across Asia, Europe and North America to throw open their doors for a ...

The 7th international workshop on new Photon-Detectors took place from 3 to 5 December 2025 at Bologna’s Palazzo d’Accursio.

André de Gouvêa explains why neutrino masses imply the existence of new fundamental fields. Misfits Massive neutrinos are not part of the Standard Model. Credit: Symmetry After all these years, ...

The development at CERN of magnesium diboride cables and other advanced superconducting systems for the High-Luminosity LHC is also driving applications beyond fundamental research, describes Amalia ...

In the summer of 1968, while a visitor in CERN’s theory division, Gabriele Veneziano wrote a paper titled “Construction of a crossing-symmetric, Regge behaved amplitude for linearly-rising ...

What is the fate of the universe? Why is there more matter than antimatter? What lurks beyond the Standard Model? Valentina Cairo and Steven Lowette explore the physics reach of the High-Luminosity ...

The Courier matched photos from CERN’s first 25 years to current experts and asked them to reflect on how much has changed across 70 years of science. The past seven decades have seen remarkable ...

What a proton is depends on how you look at it, or rather on how hard you hit it. A century after Rutherford’s discovery, our picture of this ubiquitous particle is coming into focus, says Amanda ...

Oliver James of DNEG, which produced the striking black hole in the film Interstellar, describes the science behind visual effects and the challenges in this fast-growing industry. Gargantua A variant ...

Louis Lyons traces the origins of the “five sigma” criterion in particle physics, and asks whether it remains a relevant marker for claiming the discovery of new physics. Disentanglement A Jackson ...
