How can Europe’s large-scale research facilities better engage with industry and, in so doing, broaden their user base while amplifying downstream socioeconomic impacts? That’s the central question ...

Dark photons, are hypothetical low-mass spin-1 particles that couple to dark matter but have vanishing couplings with normal matter. Such a boson, which may be associated with a U(1) gauge symmetry in ...

The Strings 2024 conference looked at the latest developments in the interconnected fields of quantum gravity and quantum field theory, all under the overarching framework of string theory. The ...

The “double simplex” scheme , which was invented in 2005 by US theorist Chris Quigg, was recently given a flashy makeover by Quanta magazine. Ivo van Vulpen’s popular book isn’t an airy pamphlet ...

Günther Plass looks back to the very beginnings of the Proton Synchrotron in the 1950s and its subsequent career as the centrepiece of CERN's accelerator complex. This is the first book to describe ...

High-energy X-rays reveal possible missing neutron star formed by the collapse of the famous supernova's progenitor star.

Ever since Otto Stern surprised his colleagues in 1933 by announcing that the proton's magnetic moment was some three times as large as expected, physicists have puzzled over the origin of this effect ...
