We live in a world of matter – because matter overtook antimatter, though they were both created in equal amounts by the Big Bang when our universe began. As featured on the cover of Nature on 16 April 2020, neutrinos and the associated antimatter particles, antineutrinos, are reported to have a high likelihood of differing behaviour that offers a promising path to explaining the asymmetry between matter and antimatter.

How is the magnetic field generated inside the Sun? By which mechanisms does it create solar spots and eruptions of magnetised clouds and particles? To find out, the European consortium Wholesun, coordinated by the CEA, is developing numerical models of the star in its entirety using the most powerful supercomputers. The numerical models will be used in combination with observations from Solar Orbiter, an ESA satellite launched on 10 February 2020.

Europe and China have combined their efforts to progress research into severe accidents in light-water reactors. Their work within the Alisa project is resulting in better understanding of potential core flooding and molten core cooling scenarios, inside and outside the vessel, as well as the behaviour of hydrogen according to reactor design.
