A National Academy of Sciences panel said that, with proper governance and other safeguards, we should commence more research on geoengineering — technologies that might let humanity deliberately intervene in nature to counter climate change.  With the planet facing potentially severe impacts from global warming in coming decades, drastically

Where did all the antimatter go? After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. Why we live in a Universe of matter, with very little antimatter, remains a mystery. The excess of matter could be explained by the violation of charge-parity (CP) symmetry, which essentially means that certain processes that involve particles behave differently to those that involve their antiparticles. However, the CP-violating processes that have been observed so far are insuf...

We agree on the physics case. We want the opportunity to access higher energies in our lifetimes. Let’s work together to choose the right path forward, says Karri DiPetrillo.

150 participants from all over the world gathered to mark the generalisation of quark mixing to three generations and its implications today.

A CERN event explored new angles of attack on the biggest naturalness questions in fundamental physics, from the cosmological constant to the Higgs mass.

Talks at the March event reflected the full breadth of the subject, and are testament to the ever-growing popularity of neutrinos in particle physics.

ATLAS has determined the Higgs-boson decay width to 4.5 MeV, leaving plenty of room for possible BSM contributions.

Stanisław Jadach made foundational contributions to the physics programmes at LEP and the LHC.

Detailed look at a lensed galaxy favors lighter particles called axions.

Signatures of gravitational lensing in images of distant galaxies suggest the presence of wave-like dark matter.
