European Organization for Nuclear Research

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, is one of the world's largest and most respected centers for scientific research in particle physics. Founded in 1954 and located near Geneva, Switzerland, CERN conducts experiments to understand the fundamental particles that make up the universe. Its most famous facility is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which smashes particles at high speeds to study their interactions. CERN’s discoveries, such as the Higgs boson, enhance our understanding of the universe and contribute to advancements in various fields, including technology and medicine.
