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 Science Museum in London is launching a new exhibition featuring digital detector caverns and magnets from the LHC
The LHCb collaboration has made the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub>
There will be no rest at Point 5, the site of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, during the long shutdown of the LHC
The first module of the Compact Linear Collider is being tested at CERN – with neither beam nor radiofrequency system
A new animation from CERN's IT department shows how LHC data is collected and sent around the world for processing
An art installation at CMS Point 5 transforms physicists into the particles they study
This week, technicians opened up the first interconnections between LHC magnets to work on accelerator components inside
CERN signs a new collaboration agreement with industry to transfer accelerator technology to the medical field
CERN scientists team up with TED-Ed animators to bring you the first of a series of five animations about physics
CERN surveyors have taken new measurements of the height of the LHC magnets in the tunnel, to see how geological shifts may be affecting the machine
The LHC's main magnets operate at temperatures colder than outer space – and it's time to replace the insulation on 1695 interconnections between them
The international team running the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) today announced the first results in its search for dark matter
