Imagine writing parallel code that can run on any platform - CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, specialized accelerators, etc - without any language or vendor extensions, external libraries, or special compilation tools. It's no longer just a dream - you can do it today in Standard C++!

Postdoctoral Researcher Jannicke Pearkes (the University of Colorado, Boulder) giving a tour for a group of CMS newcomers.

Experiments at CERN and the Accelerator Laboratory in Jyväskylä, Finland, have revealed that the radius of an exotic nucleus of aluminium, 26mAl,  is much larger than previously thought. The result, described in a paper just published in Physical Review Letters, sheds light on the effects of the weak force on quarks – the elementary particles that make up protons, neutrons and other composite particles. Among the four known fundamental forces of nature – the electromagnetic force, the str...
