Since 2003, a LHC dipole magnet turned into a telescope has been following the Sun's movements from behind a concrete wall. This is the CAST experiment - hunting for hypothetical "axion" particles that could be produced in the centre of our star ☀️ Find out more about this experiment: https://home.cern/science/experiments/cast | CERN

🕶 Discover CERN in Virtual Reality with this short clip. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the LHC. It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. Al

CERN launches CERN Science Gateway Today, CERN introduced its new science centre to representatives from Member and Associate Member States, the President of the Swiss Confederation, partners in CERN’s research, education and outreach, and donors to the Science Gateway Project. Visitors were able to experience interactive exhibitions for the first time, explore the science, technologies, discoveries and people of CERN first-hand. Watch this video for some of today’s best moments. 👇 #CERNScience

With CERN operating in safe-mode, the Organization has turned its chemical laboratories and mechanical workshops to the task of producing protective equipment to support local efforts to combat COVID-19. Over the last few days, CERN has delivered sanitizer gel, protective panels, and face shields to various front-line actors in the local area.
