Articles to discover

ATLAS detector equipment being assembled at CERN, photographed in February 2006.Basic science · Nov 11, 2026After the Higgs boson, research turns to precisionThe Standard Model found its last predicted particle in the Higgs boson. Measurements of its pair production show how physicists continue to test the theory, even without a new discovery.Raindrops form ripples in a puddle on sandy ground.Science · Nov 8, 2026Petrichor: how rain brings the smell of the earth to the surfaceMolecules from soil and plants contribute to the smell of rain. Experiments filmed at very high speed shed light on how raindrops set them circulating again.Three people discuss in front of a mathematical blackboard, illustrative photograph.AI · Nov 1, 2026OpenAI and Yang–Mills: understanding the announcement without confusing the evidenceOpenAI claims to have proved existence in quantum physics. The Yang–Mills problem also requires a mass gap: here are the key distinctions for understanding the announcement.A pipette dispenses a drop above tubes containing coloured liquids; illustrative photograph.Innovation · Nov 1, 2026An ultrasound tube guides matter through the air: what the Helsinki prototype demonstratesEight centimetres, 256 emitters and 50 watts: a prototype guides matter without a wall. Its potential and the steps still needed before industrial use.Claude Cohen-Tannoudji in front of two microphones at a conference, archival photograph.Basic science · Oct 28, 2026Claude Cohen-Tannoudji: cooling atoms to understand them betterThe physicist, who died on 22 October 2026 aged 93, helped turn light into a tool for controlling atoms. His legacy brings together experiments, theory and teaching.The Sun in ultraviolet, seen by Solar Orbiter on 27 March 2022, with bright loops in the corona.Space · Oct 21, 2026Solar Orbiter: tracing the origin of the solar windSolar Orbiter has linked a magnetic deformation observed in the solar wind to its source on the Sun. The discovery sheds light on magnetic reconnection and space storms.Structures and equipment of the ATLAS detector at CERN, photographed in September 2019Basic science · Oct 3, 2026ATLAS: two photons put matter to the testA rare interaction involving W bosons has been observed in LHC data. The result, presented in September, strengthens a test of electroweak theory.Construction site for the LSST and LZ research facilities at the SLAC laboratoryBasic science · Oct 2, 2026Dark matter: a signal to be confirmedThe LUX-ZEPLIN experiment has detected an unusual interaction in its data. The team wants to understand its origin, without announcing a discovery of dark matter.Interior view of the CMS detector at CERN, photographed in September 2019Basic science · Oct 1, 2026At CERN, quantum entanglement can be read in the tracesATLAS and CMS have found strong evidence of entanglement between Z bosons originating from the Higgs. The experiment is easier to understand by following the particles detected.
