European Council for Nuclear Research

The European Council for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, is a major scientific research organization located near Geneva, Switzerland. Established in 1954, it focuses on understanding fundamental particles and forces through high-energy particle physics experiments. The most famous facility at CERN is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle accelerator, which helps researchers explore the building blocks of matter. CERN collaborates with scientists globally, advancing knowledge in physics and contributing to technological innovations, including developments in computing and medical imaging. Its discoveries enhance our understanding of the universe's origins and fundamental laws.
