CERN Accelerating science

The CERN Quantum Technology Initiative will explore the potential of devices harnessing perplexing quantum phenomena such as entanglement to enrich and expand its challenging research programme

The usage of pirated or otherwise illegal licences can have detrimental consequences to CERNs reputation as well as trigger financial repercussions

CMS now has a new layer of detectors: 144 gas electron multiplier (GEM) chambers have been installed to detect the muons produced in the very forward region of CMS

Meet Steinar Stapnes, Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project leader, in the first of our Knowledge Transfer spotlight series

The NA63 collaboration has made a high-precision study of the phenomenon of radiation reaction, using particle beams and crystals

The ATLAS Inner Detector can measure the position of charged particles that pass through it to better than a 100th of a millimetre! To reach that precision, the detector must be aligned to equal or better accuracy

In September 1995, a paper entitled “The PC as Physics Computer for LHC?” paved the way to a new era in high-energy physics computing

Carlo Rubbia was recognised for his promotion of sustainable nuclear energy use and natural-gas pyrolysis

CERN’s Timepix particle detectors, developed by the Medipix2 Collaboration, help unravel the secret of a long-lost painting by the great Renaissance master, Raphael

Luca Malgeri and his deputies, Gautier Hamel de Monchenault and Jim Olsen, form the collaboration’s new leadership team

The DISMAC project is coming to an end: the last of the 1232 interconnections was closed in August and the cool-down of the machine will now begin

"The Nine", who inform and advise the Director-General, are now seeking topics for discussion for the coming year
