Image Styles are not applied in news pattern

I tried something this morning, that’s why you probably saw the right one? (I am not sure).

Regarding the image style, do you have a suggestion for an effect that makes them look more even? For example some pictures are still a little bit smaller than others (in height or in width).
If you compare the view and the landing page then you might see what makes me wondering. The style how I want it is like in the view. See what I mean?

And also, the sorting of the view (from this post) only works when I choose the format show “Fields”. I want it to have a more neat and tidy look. Can I influence the look of the fields with a pattern/format within the view? Or do I need to change to show content (teaser) or something?
I tried a different view when you scroll down the landing page

Okay, cool. What maybe a temporary solution is to not display it in the whole display-width. At the news section of the cern homepage, you had probably a block on the right? If I don’t have a block, can I change the width of the content (leaving the pictures not that big)?
