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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...
