Anisotropic flow in Xe–Xe collisions
One of the key goals in exploring the properties of QCD matter is to determine the minimum value of the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio (η/s) for an ideal fluid.

ALICE probes partons inside lead nuclei
The large centre-of-mass energy and luminosity of the LHC have made possible the first measurements of electroweak-boson production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.

ALICE closes in on parton energy loss
In Pb-Pb collisions, the spectra are modified by the energy loss that the partons suffer when propagating in the quark-gluon plasma.

ALICE puts limits on jet quenching in p–Pb collisions
What are the essential requirements for the formation of a quark–gluon plasma? Do only the most violent, head-on lead–lead (Pb–Pb) interactions at the LHC provide such conditions?

ALICE investigates charm-quark hadronisation
These two results suggest that charmed baryon formation might not be universal, and that the baryon/meson ratio depends on the collision system.

Copper reveals nickel’s doubly magic nature
Teams at CERN’s ISOLDE facility and at RIKEN in Japan have found evidence that an exotic isotope of the metallic element nickel (78Ni) is doubly magic, opening a new vista on an important region of ...
