Partnering with BASE collaboration
In March 2026, CERN's BASE team loaded 92 antiprotons into a portable trap, drove them about eight kilometres across the CERN site, and kept them stored for more than a month. The trap is a rehearsal for moving antimatter to quieter laboratories.

As of May 2026: Operating Fugaku supercomputer for neuroscience research
Scientists at Germany's Jülich Research Centre demonstrated in mid-January 2026 that Europe's most powerful supercomputer can simulate 20 billion spiking neurons—matching the scale of the human cerebral cortex. The team plans to combine this capability with anatomical brain data to run full-cortex simulations, a technical milestone that has eluded researchers since the field's founding in the 1980s.

As of May 2026: Collaborative research partner on hydrogen superfluidity
Scientists trapped hydrogen molecules in frozen helium droplets at nearly absolute zero and watched them flow without friction—the first direct observation of superfluidity in a molecule. When they spun a methane molecule inside clusters of 15-to-20 hydrogen molecules, it rotated forever without slowing down, confirming a 1972 prediction by Nobel laureate Vitaly Ginzburg.
