Celebrating two decades of global scientific computing Imagine a planetary computer capable of storing and processing hundreds of petabytes of data for the research needs of a worldwide community of scientists. This is the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Originally conceived to handle the unprecedented data volumes of the […]

A cryogenic winter for tomorrow’s accelerator Behind every particle collision generated at the Large Hadron Collider is a multitude of technical feats. One of these is refrigeration on an industrial scale. To guide the particles, the thousands of superconducting magnets in the accelerator must be cooled to a temperature of close to absolute zero. This

Superconductors, an opportunity for science and society Superconductive technologies have long been central to particle physics, but they have also repeatedly moved beyond the laboratory, most notably with the emergence of magnetic resonance imaging scanners (MRI), demonstrating how breakthroughs in fundamental research can benefit society. Today, as global energy, climate and healthcare pressures grow, the

ALICE welcomes its new management ALICE enters the new year with a new management team, ready to steer the collaboration through a key period of detector operation, data analysis and major upgrades. From 1 January 2026 onward, Kai Schweda, senior scientist at the GSI Helmholtz Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, has assumed the role of ALICE

Le trouble du déficit de l’attention avec ou sans hyperactivité (TDAH) est un trouble du neurodéveloppement pouvant entraîner un retentissement significatif sur la vie quotidienne, scolaire ou sociale des personnes concernées. Souvent sous diagnostiqué, le TDAH est par exemple associé à une augmentation des comportements à risque, dont les comportements sexuels. Dans une nouvelle étude,

Le ministère danois de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche a octroyé un million d’euros récompense les groupes de recherche européens ayant mené des études exceptionnelles et novatrices au plus haut niveau international, tout en incarnant des valeurs scientifiques fondamentales telles que la curiosité, la collaboration et l’ouverture. La première édition de ce prix a

With the recent release of Tor Browser 15.0, we have come out of yet another ESR-transition season whereby Tor Browser has been updated to the latest version of Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR). Historically, we have spent several months each year on this work. It is a very important and methodical process which ensures Tor

When failure is good news “We tried to break it – and failed.” For several hours, the IT teams subjected the software managing CERN’s IT workload to a stress test, sending a huge number of tasks to be processed in an attempt to crash the system … without success. “Even if this was just a

Novel beam sensors built to last A slender glass fibre no thicker than a human hair placed across a particle beam could improve accelerator monitoring. A team is testing the use of hollow-core optical fibres to measure the profile and position of the beams extracted from the Super Proton Synchrotron, CERN’s second-largest accelerator, which feeds

Breakthrough in antimatter production In a paper published today in Nature Communications, researchers at the ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antimatter Factory report a new technique that allows them to produce over 15 000 antihydrogen atoms – the simplest form of atomic antimatter – in a matter of hours. “These numbers would have been considered science
