Could unknown particles be hiding at the LHC?
Could it be that at least some of the novel particles that Large Hadron Collider collisions make are outside of its famously massive detectors? A prototype detector called CODEX-beta will try to find out – and it has now recorded its first data at CERN. The collaboration ...

Small cavity, big universe: hunting axions and gravitational waves
Superconducting cavities are at the heart of many particle accelerators, boosting particles to extremely high energies. Under the right conditions, however, the hollow niobium structures can also be used to probe phenomena that have hardly been explored so far. These include ...
