CERN Accelerating science

TIME has chosen the LHC as one of the 25 most iconic inventions from the past 25 years

The completion of the Physics Briefing Book on 2 October marks a major milestone towards the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics

The first high-energy collisions between light nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and offer up a new tool to study the extreme state of matter produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang

With Generation Higgs, CERN honours the young minds already shaping today’s scientific landscape

Artists Juan Sorrentino and Céline Manz will jointly complete a dual residency at CERN and the Pierre Auger Observatory as the artists selected for Connect Argentina

Demonstration of first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries

The three winning pictures reflect the Laboratory’s identity and futuristic feel, portraying the ongoing innovation work for future colliders

Five teams of secondary school pupils have been selected to carry out their own experiments using accelerator beams at CERN, DESY and the University of Bonn

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a fleeting union

The Large Hadron Collider gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the next few days

The Slovenian flag was raised today at a ceremony held at CERN to mark the country’s accession as CERN’s 25th Member State
