Geneva (CERN)

CERN, located near Geneva, Switzerland, is a leading scientific laboratory where researchers study the fundamental particles that make up the universe. It operates large machines called particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider, to collide particles at high speeds. These collisions help scientists understand the basic building blocks of matter and the forces governing them. CERN has contributed to major discoveries, including the Higgs boson, deepening our knowledge of how the universe works. It also fosters international collaboration, advancing physics, technology, and innovation worldwide.
