Official News regarding the CERN Safety Rules: Visits on the CERN Site
The CERN Safety Rule listed below has been published on the CERN website dedicated to the Safety Rules : This General Safety Instruction (GSI) defines the safety requirements for all types of visits on the CERN site. The new version of the GSI implements lessons learnt and reflects evolutions of the regulatory and organisational context.

AMS releases new cosmic-ray measurements
Fixed to the International Space Station (ISS) as it speeds around Earth, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is constantly measuring high-energy particles that stream from across the Universe, known as cosmic rays. In a recent paper published in Physical Review Letters, the AMS Collaboration reports its first measurements of five heavy elements found amongst these particles. Since it was installed on

CLOUD experiment uncovers a major new source of marine aerosol particles
In a paper published today in the journal Nature, the CLOUD Collaboration at CERN reports that natural emissions from phytoplankton are producing far more aerosol particles than previously thought, changing our understanding of aerosols and clouds in pristine climates from before the industrial era and after the fossil fuel era. Cloud droplets form on aerosol

François Englert (1932 – 2026)
François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist, passed away on 18 June at the age of 93 in Uccle (Brussels, Belgium). With his associate, Robert Brout, he demonstrated that fundamental particles could acquire mass by interacting with a fundamental field that exists throughout the universe. At the same time, British physicist Peter Higgs had independently hypothesised the existence

Shaping the future of non-collider physics at CERN
Non-collider activities are a vital component of CERN’s scientific ecosystem, supporting a diverse user community of more than 3000 scientists and enabling a wide range of experiments beyond the high-energy frontier. Through initiatives such as the Physics Beyond Colliders programme, CERN has already fostered innovative proposals for new experiments that leverage its unique accelerator complex

LHCb discovers the final missing member of a doubly charmed particle family
The LHCb Collaboration has found a new particle consisting of one strange quark and two charm quarks. With this finding, the Collaboration has discovered the final member of a family of doubly charmed baryons – particles made up of two charm quarks and one other quark – and closes a chapter of a story that

Members of BASE Collaboration receive awards for their research
Jonathan Morgner, a researcher at CERN’s BASE experiment, was awarded the Otto Hahn Medal on 17 June 2026. The Otto Hahn Medal is awarded by the Max Planck Society, in Germany, to early-career researchers across a variety of disciplines in recognition of outstanding scientific achievement with the aim of encouraging these researchers to continue pursuing
