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 ...

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 ...

On 13 October 2026, the CERN Library celebrated the official opening of its new Comfort Zone, a recently renovated space on the ground floor of the CERN Library, in Building 52. High-backed comfort ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

From performing detailed studies of the Higgs boson to demonstrating the first antimatter quantum bit and converting lead nuclei into gold nuclei, this year CERN further expanded our knowledge of the ...

Some of the last LHC collisions recorded by the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments in 2026 (Left to right, top to bottom). (Image: CERN) In the meantime, it’s time to take stock of the three ...
