The first results from the Planck mission, released on 11 January, are already providing new insights into astrophysics and augur well for the future, with plenty more contributions to cosmology still to come.

‘Collider’ is an extremely readable science book taking you on a scintillating journey into the enigmatic world of particle physics and the contributions of the LHC, an engineering marvel

… Physics is an international pursuit. Fermilab is home to physicists from all over the world, and other experiments will still take place there, as will work with the Large Hadron Collider. Yet it’s lamentable to see the end of an era of high-energy particle experiments in America that defined the threshold of our understanding of matter.
