Solutions proposed in the Future Circular Collider “Mining the Future” competition will now be evaluated in a 10 000 square metre “Open Sky Laboratory”
Scientists are testing a new device to help target cancer cells more accurately in ion radiotherapy of head and neck tumours, which could help limit the treatment’s side effects. It includes Timepix3, a small particle detector developed at CERN
Through a strategic research partnership focused on CERN’s cooling and ventilation systems, energy efficiency audits have helped to identify a savings potential of 17.4% across a total of 800 motors
Günther Plass, former Director of Accelerators at CERN, joined the Magnets group at the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in 1956. Three years later, the machine went into service and became the most powerful accelerator in the world
The new data centre complements the existing centre and will allow CERN to respond to the growing data-processing needs of the worldwide scientific community
The CMS collaboration has measured the speed of sound in the quark–gluon plasma more precisely than ever before, offering new insights into this extremely hot state of matter
In cooling positronium with laser light for the first time, AEgIS may also have taken the first step towards a matter–antimatter system that emits laser-like gamma-ray light
At its half-way mark, a study investigating the feasibility of a 91-kilometre Future Circular Collider to potentially follow the Large Hadron Collider at CERN shows significant progress
Giuseppe Fidecaro was among the small group of physicists who performed the first experiment at CERN to provide results in 1958 that would spread the Laboratory’s name around the world
