Visit the CERN accelerator complex through these immersive 360-degree photos
A new tracker made of scintillating fibres will be installed in the LHCb experiment during the ongoing shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider
The final touches are being put to the new test facility to ready it for operation
The CMS muon system is being upgraded to help track muons with ever-higher precision
The Super Proton Synchrotron will receive a new beam dump before the end of the second long shutdown of CERN’s accelerator complex
From today, all SI base units will be defined based on natural constants, with the kilogram the last to join the ranks
The installation and commissioning of the new facility is one of the biggest challenges of LS2 for the SPS team
From 1 April onwards, the home page of CERN will take on a simpler persona that hearkens back to the early days of the Web
The Antiproton Decelerator will see refurbishment work that will help its experiments to trap more antimatter than before
As part of CERN’s celebrations of the 30th anniversary of the Web, an international team is at CERN to recreate the WorldWideWeb browser
Following our article on the PS Booster, we take a look at the next link in CERN’s accelerator chain: the venerable PS and its magnet system
ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb presented their key physics results at an end-of-year series of talks
