Work during the current long shutdown (LS1) of CERN's accelerator complex is making good progress since starting in February this year.
Read article 'Fermilab’s accelerators start up after long shutdown'
After more than a year of upgrades, Fermilab's revamped accelerator complex is ready to send beam to its suite of fixed-target experiments, which now includes the new NOvA neutrino detector in norther...
Read article 'New high-precision constraints on charm CP violation'
There are four neutral mesons that allow particle–antiparticle transitions – mixing – and so make ideal laboratories for studies of matter–antimatter asymmetries (CP violation).

A stunning image of the nearby Andromeda galaxy (M31) captured by the Subaru Telescope's Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) has demonstrated the instrument's capability of fulfilling the goal to use the ground-b...
Read article 'Kilonova solves the short GRB puzzle'
Follow-up observations of a recent short-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) provide the strongest evidence yet that these elusive bursts result from the merger of two neutron stars. The evidence is in the...
Read article 'Do fast radio bursts signal black-hole formation?'
Astronomers using the 64-m Parkes radio telescope in Australia have detected radio transients with a duration of only 4 ms. These fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a recently discovered class of myste...
Read article 'Surprising studies in multiplicity'
One of the key ways of looking into what happens when high-energy hadrons collide is to measure the relationship between the number, or multiplicity, of particles produced and their momentum transvers...
