As CERN prepares for LS3, road safety – one of the nine newly approved CERN Safety Fundamentals – is more critical than ever. Increased traffic, movement of equipment and a higher density of people ...

Two large transformation initiatives, the HCM project and the ERP project, have been launched to modernise the administrative systems that support CERN’s day-to-day work, making them more efficient, ...

Image: Springel et al. 2005/Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics Most of the universe is void. Of the rest, most is invisible. Yet it weaves a sprawling cosmic web, lit at its nodes by clusters of ...

Winners of the 2026 CERN Beamline for Schools competition: “Team PionIST 3” from Türkiye (top left), “Team POLARIS” from Bangladesh (top centre), “Team Mobile MIPs” from the UK (right), “Team Centauri ...

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) could be Europe’s next-generation particle collider: a unique tool to explore the deepest mysteries of the Universe and to drive technology, innovation and skills ...

You and everything around you are made of particles. But when the universe began, no particles had mass; they all sped around at the speed of light. Stars, planets and life could only emerge because ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton – the antimatter counterpart of a proton – oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states ...

CP asymmetry is the only non-trivial difference between matter and antimatter found so far. Its discovery in neutral kaon decays in 1964 came as a big surprise to the physics community, but today it ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be found at CERN in many contexts: embedded in devices, software products and cloud services procured by CERN, brought on-site by individuals or developed in-house.

Layout of a printed circuit board made using KiCad. The cornerstone of open source philosophy is that the recipients of technology should have access to all of its building blocks, such as software ...

According to the theory of supersymmetry, there is a mirror world of hypothetical particles that could help resolve several physics puzzles, such as the surprisingly small mass of the Higgs boson and ...

In 2026, CERN has received funding for 13 new projects from the European Union’s R&D programme Horizon Europe, following applications to Research Infrastructures calls in 2025. All these projects will ...
