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
The upgrade and maintenance of the LHC (LS1 - first long shutdown) started with the tests of most of the electromagnetic circuits
On 1 March, UN’s Secretary-General visited CERN first since the Organization was granted Observer status at the UN General Assembly last December
On 1 March, the ATLAS Collaboration welcomed a new spokesperson, Dave Charlton, and two new deputy spokespersons, Thorsten Wengler and Beate Heinemann
The CERN toolbar is a branding element for CERN websites, a 'Sign in' button, a link to the directory, and a link back home
In COOL EDGE 2013, biologists, medical doctors and life scientists are looking to CERN as a model for international scientific collaboration
