Many searches for new physics at the LHC involve decays to heavy objects such as W\, Z\, and Higgs bosons\, or top quarks. \; I will present the latest algorithms to identify ha dronic decays of these objects at high momentum\, where decay products may overlap in the detector. \; These jet substructure algorithms aim to efficiently identify distinct topologies of particles within a jet\, while simultaneously rejecting the large QCD backgrounds. \; I will show th e latest results from CMS searches for new physics using these signatures\ , including searches for top quark pair resonances and vector-like top and bottom partner quarks. \; Looking toward the future\, I will also dis cuss some new developments in the field of jet substructure being consider ed for new analyses.
