At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

In this animated lesson for TED-Ed, CERN physicists David Barney and Steven Goldfarb use the Socratic method to explain the Higgs boson
Physicists from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations explain how they came to identify the new particle of 2012 as "a Higgs boson"
The ALPHA collaboration has published a paper describing the first direct analysis of how antimatter is affected by gravity
The LHCb collaboration has made the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub>
LHC experiments release a scattering of Higgs-candidate data to the public
The international team running the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) today announced the first results in its search for dark matter
The ATRAP experiment presents most precise measurement yet of the antiproton magnetic moment
Eighty years ago today, Physical Review published a paper by Carl Anderson announcing the discovery of the positron – the electron’s antiparticle
With two and a half times more data analysed than in July last year, ATLAS and CMS find that the new particle looks more and more like a Higgs boson
