“The campaign for intersex people’s human rights has come a long way in the past two decades… Unfortunately, as this research shows, it is still dangerous to be born this way.”
Politics aimed at enforcing binary sex result in harmful interventions on intersex people. We must resist such politics.

On Intersex Awareness Day, thousands feel unsafe to live openly
The world is a dangerous place for intersex people, and new research shows that many feel it’s getting worse

In October, the Circular Electron–Positron Collider (CEPC) study group completed its full suite of technical design reports. However, CEPC will not be considered for inclusion in China’s next five-year plan (2026–2030).

The Circular Electron–Positron Collider (CEPC), a 100-km electron–positron “Higgs factory” proposed in China, has reached the technical-design stage but will not be included for approval or construction in the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030).

Working at the CERN Courier is a great honour, and I am deeply grateful for it. This time, we had the pleasure of wrestling with the history of quarkonia, the X17 anomaly, ATLAS's confirmation of a top-antitop excess, and much more. I hope you'll enjoy our latest issue!
The new CERN Courier looks ahead, to the future of particle physics - and back to the outstanding year of 1964. The story of quarkonia spans all six decades, and its final chapter is now being written. Plus: data preservation, X17, dark energy and more.

I jumped on board as the train was shooting past at supersonic speed, but working on such a significant issue is a honour I struggle to capture in a post.

One hundred years ago today, Werner Heisenberg wrote to Wolfgang Pauli of radical ideas about quantum mechanics. As this special anniversary edition of #CERNCourier shows, a century has not sufficed to fully understand or apply the theory.

The CERN Courier has been the high-energy physics magazine for almost seventy years. On a smaller scale, it has been my personal, essential source of information on the field.
It is thus with great pleasure that I announce I have joined it as an Associate Editor. I’ll do my best!

I am surprised and saddened that hundreds of students graduate from QFT courses thinking that renormalisation is a trick and having no idea what an EFT is.

What if the universe hides a tiny extra dimension just a few micrometers across?
How may string theory shape the world we observe?
Where shall we look for experimental signatures of quantum gravity?

A world where many possess nuclear bombs is tragic and dangerous. Yet, one in which only a few have them - and wield that power to subjugate, dominate and exterminate with impunity - is even worse.

Let me be clear: there wasn't a single instance in which Elon Musk displayed a sound grasp of physics – despite pretending otherwise.
He was a charlatan long before his Nazi era.

Do you know how sick you get when Elon Musk opens his mouth on history and politics? Well, that's how physicists have felt for years.
The man is the biggest bluff of the third millennium, a mishmash of Reddit threads and clickbait YouTube videos. Now, with a fresh sprinkle of neo-Nazism.

I don't know if the European leaders will stab #Ukraine in the back. I do know, however, that no one will force me to call ‘peace’ an agreement that neither restores the country's legal borders, nor punishes war criminals.
Peace is such only when it's just.

I'm ready to die on this hill: the Ukrainian resistance is one of the clearest examples of modern anti-imperialism – and should be treated accordingly. Seeing Ukraine as a ‘proxy’ is not only anti-historical, but deprives an entire people of agency, desires, and aspirations of freedom.

The audience's passionate response fills me with joy – and hope!

Can we chop the world forever? Will there come a time, in our shift from cells to molecules, atoms, and particles, when reality will reject our attempts to dissect it? Is there a point beyond which the concept of ‘part’ loses any meaning?
