The freshly-completed upgrade of the detectors and the harvest of Pb–Pb collision data expected in Run 3 will further improve the measurements.

Until now, ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) were thought to be black holes, because their high luminosity implied a mass exceeding by far the maximal mass of a neutron star. The most luminous of th ...

Do particles and their antiparticles behave in the same way? Even tiny differences could be amplified over astronomical distances to produce very large effects. Read article 'Linear collider physics: ...

Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that would carry magnetic charge, a concept first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1931.

For optical astronomy, the space station will be accompanied by the Xuntian telescope, which can be translated to “survey the heavens”. Xuntian is currently planned to be launched in mid-2025 to fly ...
