Co-reported the 2015 B_s → μ+μ− observation
On 3 November 2026, physicists on the LHCb experiment at CERN reported evidence that a particle called the B_d meson can decay into two muons. The Standard Model predicts this happens about once in every 10 billion beauty-particle decays. Combined with earlier data, the signal reached 3.2 sigma.

As of September 2026: Performed the primary search that excluded quantum black holes below 8.4–11.4 TeV
The Large Hadron Collider's most thorough search for microscopic black holes came up empty. That absence is a result: it rules out quantum black holes up to about 12 TeV (tera-electron volts) and, with them, most theories of extra spatial dimensions.

As of September 2026: The other general-purpose detector at the LHC
Physicists at CERN have found strong evidence that Z bosons, the particles that carry the weak nuclear force, become quantum entangled when produced in Higgs boson decays. The result, based on proton collisions at 13 trillion electron volts, shows that Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" persists at the most extreme energies ever tested in a laboratory.
