At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

The two student teams – from Greece and the Netherlands – will carry out experiments at CERN in September. Watch videos from their winning proposals
A new projection system breathes life into the Synchrocyclotron, an accelerator that has been dormant since 1990
ALPHA reports a measurement of the electric charge of antihydrogen atoms, finding it to be compatible with zero to eight decimal places
An LHC magnet makes a stop in the heart of Geneva to celebrate 200 years since the canton joined the Swiss Confederation
New results from LHCb suggest that B+mesons decay to muons about 25% less often than they decay to electrons
Greig Cowan of the University of Edinburgh (UK) presents the latest on exotic mesons from LHCb. Watch the webcast at 11am CET today
The Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics and the Elettra light source have signed to supply accelerator components worth €1 million to SESAME
In continuing its studies of the energy region of the τ and charm particles, the BES collaboration has begun to investigate the puzzling XYZ states
For CERN, the "Fête des Voisins" (neighbours' fair) lasted the whole weekend
The LS1 team will be popping the champagne on Tuesday 27 May, celebrating the completion of the consolidation of the splices
