They say good things come to those who wait, and the LHCb Collaboration’s latest result marks a major milestone in a decades-long search. As announced in a seminar held at CERN today, the ...

Open Research Europe (ORE), the open-access publishing platform, has entered a new phase as a collective European publishing service, now operated by CERN. The relaunch expands eligibility beyond ...

Nobody likes an uninvited guest. The mouse crossing the kitchen floor. The spider scuttling across the blanket. The wild boar uprooting the garden. The snake swimming in the pool. The moth flying ...

The procedure for the recovery and sale of CERN property was revised on 2 October 2026. This update clarifies the categorisation of property and the procedures to be followed for its re-use, recovery ...

CERN is governed and primarily funded by its 25 Member States. Alongside 11 Associate Member States and partners worldwide, they make CERN a global hub for scientific collaboration.

At CERN, scientists from around the world explore the fundamental structure of the Universe. They use large and complex instruments to push the boundaries of human knowledge.

A small number of visionary scientists in Europe and North America identified the need for Europe to have a world-class physics research facility. Their vision was both to stop the brain drain to ...

One year on from the first-ever collisions of oxygen at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the main LHC Collaborations – ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb – have each reported signs of the state of matter ...

After years of design, manufacturing and testing, the High-Luminosity (HiLumi) LHC magnet programme has reached a landmark point: all eight new CERN-made quadrupole magnets needed for installation are ...

During the recommissioning phase, the operations teams, together with equipment and machine-protection experts, worked around the clock to bring the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back into operation.

The LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered a new particle consisting of two charm quarks and one down quark, a similar structure to the familiar proton, but with two ...
