laboratorio CERN

Laboratorio CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) is a leading scientific facility located near Geneva, Switzerland. It hosts the world's largest particle accelerator, called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which accelerates particles to near the speed of light and smashes them together. These high-energy collisions help scientists study the fundamental building blocks of matter and the forces that govern the universe. CERN's research has led to discoveries like the Higgs boson. It also fosters international collaboration among scientists, advancing our understanding of the universe at the most basic level.
