CERN microelectronics experts, secondary school teachers in Catalonia and researchers at the University of Barcelona have teamed up to facilitate the dissemination of Minipix detectors in Spanish secondary schools

The sum raised by the CERN personnel, the Directorate and the Staff Association contributed to the Swiss Red Cross’s essential humanitarian response to the war in Ukraine

An LHC quadrupole whose beam screen had been coated with a fine layer of carbon displayed minimal heat load in comparison to other magnets, constituting a promising step in eliminating electron clouds in future particle accelerators

The construction of the last surface buildings for HL-LHC Point 1, including the underground connections to the HL-LHC cavern, is now complete

A full-size, US-produced HL-LHC quadrupole magnet based on niobium–tin technology has passed a critical endurance test, another step towards confirming the technology’s viability inside accelerators

The AWAKE collaboration has successfully seeded the self-modulation of a proton bunch, to control and stabilise plasma waves that can accelerate electrons with record gradients

What’s so special about the Higgs boson? Why should I care? What’s next? If these questions torment you, head straight to home.cern.

Tune in to celebrate ten years of Higgs research at the LHC with CERN on 3 and 4 July. If your hunger for physics hasn’t been satiated, stay to witness the start of Run 3 at the LHC on 5 July

The special session of Switzerland’s executive body was followed by an official visit by the President of the Confederation.

Freddy Streun, co-founder of the CERN Ski club, and Norman Eatough, founder of the CERN Croquet club, are retiring from their club activities after decades of tireless service
