Top and bottom quarks - spotlight on the higgs boson
The CMS collaboration has recently released new results on how the top quark and Higgs boson interact, and this required a much deeper understanding of the production of top quarks together with bottom quarks.

Prof. Dr. Alexey Soluyanov, SNF professor for theoretical solid-state physics, has passed away
We are mourning for our colleague, mentor, and friend, Alexey Soluyanov. After bravely fighting a hard struggle against his cancer, he has passed from us on October 26 in St. Petersburg, much too early, at the age of 36 years. We will remember Alexey Soluyanov as an eager and cheerful person, with whom we were lucky enough to share our passion for physics.

LHCb: Update of lepton universality test measurement RK
The LHCb Collaboration presented an updated measurement of the ratio RK, an important test of a principle of the Standard Model of particle physics known as "lepton universality", which states that electrons, muons and taus couple to other particles with the same strength.
