CERN Accelerating science

CERN’s HiRadMat facility restarts this week with a new experiment nicknamed “Fireball”, which will give new insights into extreme astrophysical phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts

Across the Middle East and North Africa region, CERN has set up scientific collaborations to promote access to education and innovation

The observation at CERN’s nuclear physics facility of a long-sought decay of the thorium-229 nucleus in a solid-state system is a key step towards a clock that could outclass today’s most precise atomic clocks

The observed mass of the Higgs boson is, from the theoretical point of view, unnaturally small. This conundrum is forcing physicists to explore exotic explanations.

For 684 budding scientists from schools in the local area, the 11th edition of the Be a scientist project wrapped up on Thursday, 11 May 2023.

A first-of-its-kind workshop at CERN saw high-school students coming to the Laboratory to discover the fascinating field of quantum science and technology

The ATLAS collaboration tested Higgs-boson interactions with the carriers of the weak force, looking for signs of charge-parity symmetry violation

The beam commissioning of the Antiproton Decelerator will start on 12 June, and the aim is to deliver antiprotons to the eagerly waiting AD-ELENA experiments on 30 June

CERN and INFN have developed a compact, transportable accelerator for the non-destructive analysis of historical artifacts and artworks, providing a cheaper, more accessible method of analysing large or fragile items of this nature

As this year’s edition of the legendary race approaches, the time has come to look back on 50 years of exuberance, silly costumes, beer drinking and the occasional bit of running
