At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

The two winning teams of this year’s competition tested their projects on real-life particle beams in September
In the AD hall, a beam of H- ions has reached the GBAR and ALPHA experiments, marking the end of the installation of new transfer lines from the ELENA deceleration ring
The 2020 EIROforum topical workshop on Big data, organised by the Instrumentation Working Group, will be held from 26-29 October 2020
On 26 November, CERN will launch a new science innovation forum that begins with the theme of artificial intelligence (AI)
The LHCb collaboration has observed time-dependent matter–antimatter asymmetry in the decays of strange beauty particles into charged kaons
The result opens the path to study in a new and unique way the extreme state of matter that is thought to have existed shortly after the Big Bang
