Beam commissioning is progressing well across the entire accelerator complex, with initial completion achieved in the first machines of the chain. Last week, the first physics experiments started in the East Area, behind the PS, and others will follow suit shortly. https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/accelerator-report-protons-or-easter-eggs-lets-hope-both

Thirty-five years ago, a young computer expert working at CERN wrote a proposal that combined accessing information with a desire for broad connectivity and openness. This proposal went on to become the World Wide Web (WWW), whose impact on society has been profound. https://home.cern/news/news/computing/world-wide-web-35

New ATLAS measurement of lepton flavour universality, a key feature of the Standard Model, in decays of the W boson is more precise than all previous measurements combined: https://home.cern/news/news/physics/delicate-balance-lepton-flavours

And, finally the CERN Courier digests the mid-term report of the Future Circular Collider feasibility study: From understanding the structure of the elementary blocks of matter and the forces acting between them, to exhaustively probing the existence of new phenomena at low and high energies, the Future Circular Collider offers unique exploration of space, time and matter.
