CERN Accelerating science

There are many different ways to unlock your smartphone: swiping patterns, PIN numbers, passwords, biometric fingerprints or face recognition. Some are more secure, some less so

The interaction strength of neutrinos had never previously been measured in this energy range

Arts at CERN, in collaboration with the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, today announced Robin Meier Wiratunga and Vimala Pons as the artists selected for the sixth edition of Connect

After more than a decade in space, the AMS detector on the ISS is due for another upgrade. With its augmented potential for discovery, it will be able to investigate dark-matter-like signatures from cosmic rays

The successful restart of the accelerator complex, Brazil’s Associate Membership and the next update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics were among many topics discussed in the 216th session of the CERN Council

With ongoing vulnerability scans of CERN’s internet presence, the Computer Security team’s plans to perform penetration testing against selected targets visible to the internet

Using the outstanding tracking capabilities of the CMS detector, the collaboration observed two photons producing two tau-leptons in proton–proton collisions

The CERN facility allowed scientists to see how this rare Earth metal is synthesised in stars. The results open up new questions about stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of galaxies

For the first time, scientists at CERN, in collaboration with scientists at GSI, have been able to measure a coupled resonance structure that may cause particle loss in accelerators
