The Large Hadron Collider gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the next few days

Glass sculptures by Slovak artist Ján Zoričák, some created using materials from CERN experiments, are on display at the Globe of Science and Innovation until 24 August

CERN engineer Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, now an ESA astronaut, has just taken off for the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center

The proton physics run has now been paused for the first block of machine development studies, a technical stop and short oxygen- and neon-ion physics runs. Protons will be back in the machines on 12 July

On 3 June, the CERN Technology (TE) department held the first-ever TE Graduate Workshop, a full-day event that gave all TE members, whatever their area of expertise, the opportunity to exchange ideas

Congratulations to the 2025 winners of the LHCb Thesis Awards, Early Career Scientist Awards and Technical Awards

The worlds of IT and control systems have changed drastically thanks to virtualisation, containers, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, large language models... CERN needs to evolve towards Technical Network v3.0

The Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (TSNUK) plans to use the equipment to train students and to contribute to the local analysis of LHCb physics data

Join us on 24 June for CERN Alumni Day and participate in the network’s new “CAN doers” initiative to earn badges

The teams are making the final interconnections in the chain of magnets that will be used to test the components of the LHC's successor
