CERN Accelerating science

The CERN Fire and Rescue Service tested its own emergency preparedness in its first evacuation drill

TIME has chosen the LHC as one of the 25 most iconic inventions from the past 25 years

The delivery of two huge compressors kicks off the installation of the new helium refrigerators for the High-Luminosity LHC

Got any blocks of cast iron lying around in a corner of your office? They might be useful for the future Beam Dump Facility (BDF) for the SPS

20 years ago, control systems used to be stand-alone systems, usually decoupled from the larger enterprise networks, using their own network cabling infrastructures and programming languages dedicated to control systems. But no more…

The Nine share the ideas and feedback of the senior staff with the Director-General and offer advice on questions concerning scientific activities, organisational matters and use of resources

The CERN-born open-source timing technology is being tested for use in quantum networks and secure quantum communication

From the first colour X-rays to detecting forgeries in the art world, semiconductor chips based on those originally designed for particle physics experiments continue to impact society in new and unexpected ways thanks to CERN’s Medipix collaborations

A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical calculations are needed to determine whether new physics is at play

As the 2025 LHC run enters its final ten weeks, strong performance pushes luminosity past 90 inverse femtobarns, while lead-ion preparations are ahead of schedule

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial

With a newly opened CERN Community Support Centre (CCSC) branch and newly renovated offices, it’s all change for Building 60, CERN’s Main Building
