The European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) is a premier research institution specializing in particle physics, where groundbreaking experiments probe the fundamental nature of matter and the universe. CERN’s innovative experiments, including the Large Hadron Collider, push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and technological development. By fostering international collaboration, CERN serves as a global hub for advancing fundamental science and exploring the universe’s deepest mysteries.
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe.
Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on https://home.cern/.
