CERN Accelerating science

Substantial contributions to the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics set the stage for discussions that will define the next flagship collider at CERN

The Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was awarded to the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations during a ceremony held in Los Angeles on 5 April

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behaviour of particles called baryons

On 27 May 2025, twenty photographers will be given an exclusive opportunity to explore the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.

Isoprene emitted by tropical forests may provide a globally important source of aerosol particles that influence clouds, according to a new study by the CLOUD collaboration at CERN

Professor Thomson’s five-year mandate will begin on 1 January 2026

The aim of the third update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics is to develop a visionary and concrete plan that greatly advances human knowledge in fundamental physics through the realisation of the next flagship project at CERN

A special high-level ceremony held at CERN crowned a year-long celebration taking place across Europe and beyond

The CERN Council has announced that Professor Costas Fountas will become its 25th President beginning on 1 January 2025

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the odds of this decay occurring are less than one in 10 billion

The eagerly awaited result is the most precise measurement of the W mass made at the LHC so far, and is in line with the prediction from the Standard Model of particle physics

The results open up a new perspective on the complex world of quantum physics
