Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit their unparalleled precision at higher energies.

The ATLAS and ALICE collaborations have announced the first results of a new way to measure the “radial flow” of quark–gluon ...

Battle of the Big Bang provides an entertaining update on the collective obsessions and controlled schizophrenias in cosmology, writes Will Kinney.

The final Fermilab measurement is (116592070.5 ± 11.4  (stat.) ± 9.1 (syst.) ± 2.1  (ext.)) × 10 –11, fully consistent with ...

Initially, these technical skills helped Pindo become a device engineer for a hardware company, before making the switch to ...

Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use extreme environments as precise laboratories for fundamental physics.

Precise measurements of the Higgs self-coupling and its effects on the Higgs potential will play a key role in testing the validity of the Standard Model (SM). 150 physicists discussed the required ...

Fritz Ferger, a multi-talented engineer who had a significant impact on the technical development and management of CERN, passed away on 22 March 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.

The ATLAS and ALICE collaborations have announced the first results of a new way to measure the “radial flow” of quark–gluon plasma.

Laser calibration Technical improvements by Fermilab’s Muon g-2 collaboration achieved a systematic uncertainty of 78 ppb on quantum corrections to the magnetic moment of the muon. Credit: R Hahn ...
