A colloquium on 25 November will celebrate the anniversary of CERN’s oldest accelerator
Watch the first of several spacewalks for AMS live on Friday 15 November from 12.50 p.m. CET
All of the interconnections between the LHC superconducting magnets have been opened: an important step for the diode consolidation project
Just like on the envelope of a normal hand-written letter, any sender address can be specified. “CERN.CH” can easily be spoofed so that an e-mail looks like it comes from someone at CERN, but actually doesn’t
CERN surveyors have developed a procedure based on interferometry to determine the position of cold masses inside the cryostats of the future HL-LHC
The BASE collaboration reports the first laboratory search for an interaction between antimatter and a candidate particle for dark matter
A new tracker made of scintillating fibres will be installed in the LHCb experiment during the ongoing shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider
From a new easy-start template to showcased examples, find out about the latest Drupal 8 resources available to the CERN community
The winning teams from this year’s competition have successfully finished their data-collection runs
CERN’s HSE unit is organising a free distribution of reflective tags to help us stay safe on the roads through the dark winter nights
Detector pieces have travelled across the globe to build ALICE’s new inner detector at CERN
