Three years ago, CERN published its Environmentally Responsible Procurement (CERP) Policy, marking a pivotal step towards integrating sustainability into procurement activities across the Organization ...

The ATLAS and CMS detectors require ultra-low, stable temperatures to protect their sensitive electronics. Traditional cooling systems rely on synthetic refrigerants like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), ...

The final laps before the major overhaul: CERN’s accelerator operators have just fired the starting pistol for the last run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). At the end of June, four years of work ...

Mick Storr was the face of CERN’s Teacher Programmes and a mentor to teachers around the world. (Image: Anna Pantelia / CERN) It was with profound sadness that we learned of the passing of Mick Storr ...

It is with great sadness that we learned that George Kalmus passed away on 27 May at the age of 91. George had a long and distinguished career in experimental particle physics, not only at CERN, where ...

As outlined in our June article, CERN has a coordination structure in place to manage and oversee concurrent activities, including for the demanding LS3 period ahead. Clearly defined activities, ...

Just 100 years ago, on 9 July 1925, Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his friend, colleague and fiercest critic, Wolfgang Pauli. A few weeks earlier, Heisenberg had returned from the North Sea ...

The second-largest machine in CERN’s accelerator complex provides a stepping stone between the Proton Synchrotron and the LHC The SPS became the workhorse of CERN’s particle physics programme when it ...

The Standard Model explains how the basic building blocks of matter interact, governed by four fundamental forces. The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists since the 1930s have resulted ...

A round of applause broke out in the CERN Control Centre on 5 July at 4.47 p.m. CEST when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detectors switched on all subsystems and started recording high-energy ...

What if the world’s largest particle accelerator could also heat homes? CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is doing just that, thanks to a new heat exchange system. Since mid-January, heat recovered ...
