CERN Accelerating science

While eagerly expected by experts, the first dominant incident on control systems reported by the media was the Stuxnet attack of 2010 against the Iranian nuclear programme allegedly conducted by some secret services

The two beams circulating in the LHC are currently running with different bunch intensities – an unexpected (but successful) premiere, giving us a good chance to reach last year’s luminosity record

CERN welcomes Ireland as an Associate Member State

A new ISOLDE study of molecules containing pear-shaped atomic nuclei helps shape future research aimed at testing fundamental symmetries of nature

The accelerators that feed into the Large Hadron Collider are ready to supply more intense beams

More than 350 participants from over 40 countries met at CERN to discuss the future of open science

On 6 October, the total integrated luminosity passed the symbolic mark of 100 fb⁻¹, exceeding the forecast curve. This allowed the bunch intensity to be increased to explore the intensity reach and limitations in view of the HL-LHC era

This year, on the occasion of what would have been the 120th birthday of Felix Bloch, first Director-General of CERN and 1952 Nobel laureate in physics, the physicist’s family generously donated his Nobel prize medal to CERN

Oliver Brüning, who has led the HL-LHC project since 2020, is handing the position of HL-LHC project leader over to Markus Zerlauth

Seven technical apprentices and one library apprentice received their diplomas this year

This animation shows how different layers of the lake’s bed are being mapped as part of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study
