CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research)

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is a leading research institution based in Switzerland, known for its groundbreaking work in particle physics. It operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, where scientists collide particles to understand the fundamental components of matter and the forces of nature. By studying these collisions, CERN aims to answer fundamental questions about the universe, including the origins of mass and dark matter. Established in 1954, CERN fosters international collaboration, uniting researchers from around the globe to advance our understanding of physics.
