CERN Accelerating science

As the first and last proton-lead run of 2013 draws to a close, the extensive maintenance programme of the LHC's first long shutdown is about to start

Forty years ago quarks gained their freedom – at least theoretically – and the modern theory of the strong interaction began to emerge

Leaders from academia and industry came together last week at CERN to discuss the IT requirements for the next generation of research infrastructures

In addition to providing hardware and software to CERN for three decades, Oracle has now been involved in the CERN openlab project for 10 years

The LHC starts the New Year facing a new challenge: proton-lead collisions in the last month before the shutdown in mid-February

Every two weeks, ion-source physicist Detlef Küchler refills the lead source for the LHC with pure lead 208

Proton-ion operation has become routine for the LHC operation crew with all seven LHC experiments simultaneously taking data for first time

Ensuring scientific software stays citable and sustainable

The third annual Google Science Fair opens today. Students aged 13 to 18 are invited to submit science or engineering projects online
