CERN’s antimatter factory produces low-energy (i.e. 'slow') antiprotons in order to “manufacture” and study antimatter. To achieve this, two decelerators, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) coupled to ...

The CERN sites are home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. (Image: CERN) To mark World Environment Day on 5 June, CERN has released its new environmental objectives for 2030, which emphasise its ...

With the roll-out of 2-factor authentication (2FA) for the CERN Single Sign-On (SSO) now concluded – thank you all for helping to secure CERN! – the next step required by the 2023 CERN cybersecurity ...

The LHC reached its target of 2460 bunches per fill – the default filling scheme for 2025 – on 24 May. This milestone was achieved slightly later than anticipated in my previous Report but, ...

Today marks 50 years since the European Space Agency (ESA) was established and began serving Europe as its space agency. Spacecraft and particle accelerators both operate in harsh radiation ...

Have you recently arrived in the area and are looking for ways to help your spouse or partner settle in, find work or connect with others? You’re not alone – and now there’s a dedicated space to help ...

United by a shared vision, countries came together in Switzerland in the 1950s for science, but also for music. Whether you love it or loathe it, you can’t ignore the parallels that the Eurovision ...

Simulations of lattice gauge theories such as QCD or QED on classical computers have been remarkably successful over the past decades. However, the conventional methods relying on Monte Carlo sampling ...

Security flaws, hackers and data breaches are the new normal. It’s not just those of us in the industry facing these foes every single day; it’s everyone. Whether you’re online or offline, you simply ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to ...

The PADME experiment at the Frascati National Laboratory of INFN has performed a search for the hypothetical X17 particle, by observing the product of the collisions of the positron beam from the ...
