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.

Eighty years ago today, Physical Review published a paper by Carl Anderson announcing the discovery of the positron – the electron’s antiparticle
With two and a half times more data analysed than in July last year, ATLAS and CMS find that the new particle looks more and more like a Higgs boson
The 1st International Conference on Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) will be held in Lecce, Italy from 6-8 May 2013
The ATLAS collaboration has just released four animations showing how signals of new particles can emerge from LHC collision data
The LHCb experiment at CERN reports precise new measurements—but leaves open the question of why our matter-dominated universe exists
Watch students and teachers from two schools in central Poland searching proton collisions from the LHC for signs of new particles
The LHCb collaboration has recently announced new results for a parameter that measures the CP violation effect in particles containing charm quarks
A standing stone outside the CERN Control Centre neatly sums up our understanding of the universe
A new service has launched to calibrate PXI cards used to enhance the performance of measurement and automation systems
Objects as large as a planet or as small as a photon can have the property of spin. Spin is also the reason we can watch movies in 3D.
Physicists speaking today at the Moriond conference say that the new particle discovered at CERN last year is looking more and more like a Higgs boson
Today's session at the Rencontres de Moriond, on the Standard Model scalar boson, is being web-cast live
