CAFEIN®, CERN’s federated learning artificial intelligence (AI) platform, has been recognised as runner-up in the Digital Frontiers category at the Digital@UNGA Awards 2026. The award celebrates ...

CERN’s fundamental research and unique environment are fertile ground for innovations in particle accelerators, detectors and computing that can benefit society as a whole, sometimes in surprising ...

CERN has released its strategy and main objectives for the period 2026–2030, approved by the CERN Council in June. The strategy closely follows the priorities laid out in the 2026 update of the ...

Candidate event displays of double-Higgs boson production as recorded by ATLAS (left) and CMS (right). (Image: CERN) The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the LHC marked the beginning of a new ...

Preparatory works for the future Building 140 will begin on 17 August 2026 and are scheduled to continue until 18 December 2026. This initial phase includes the diversion of existing utility networks ...

On 12 August 2026, the CERN community will have the opportunity to observe one of the most spectacular astronomical events visible from our region in decades. While a total solar eclipse will cross ...

For only the third time since it began operating in 2008, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is slowly being returned to room temperature after being kept at close to -271°C, just above absolute zero.

When the Large Electron–Positron collider (LEP) switched on, in 1989, the field had never worked at such a scale. Approved eight years earlier, it collided electrons and positrons until the turn of ...

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 ...

A candidate collision event for a pair of Higgs bosons, with one boson decaying into two photons and the other into a pair of bottom quarks. The two particle jets originating from the bottom quarks ...

Following the successful conclusion of “25 by ’25” at the end of 2025, the Diversity & Inclusion (“D&I”) Programme is now building on this momentum by launching a new D&I initiative for CERN: ...
