Since 2003, a LHC dipole magnet turned into a telescope has been following the Sun's movements from behind a concrete wall. This is the CAST experiment - hunting for hypothetical "axion" particles that could be produced in the centre of our star ☀️ Find out more about this experiment: https://home.cern/science/experiments/cast | CERN

🕶 Discover CERN in Virtual Reality with this short clip. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the LHC. It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. Al

The Journey so far… In 2017, CERN’s Director General, Fabiola Gianotti, laid out a vision for a one-of-a-kind outreach centre, to become the place where CERN’s science and the public meet. This vision has now become a reality. CERN Science Gateway will be inaugurated on 7 October and open to the public from 8 October, six days a week from Tuesday to Sunday, from 8.00 to 18.00. We will look forward to welcoming you here in years to come. Watch to follow the journey of CERN Science Gateway – from

Why engage youth in science? 🧑‍🎓 On 25 September, CERN hosted an exclusive preview screening at #CERNScienceGateway of the documentary “Les vrais chercheurs ne savent pas ce qu’ils cherchent…” directed by Jean-Luc Perreard and Cédric Klapisch. The film explores the mysteries of the #HiggsBoson and the #BigBang, celebrating research as a journey of experimentation, emotion, and the transfer of knowledge across generations. Hear from the directors and special guests – #CERN Director-General Fabi

Happy birthday CERN Joyeux anniversaire le Cern Hear Fabiola Gianotti, CERN’s Director-General, tell us what was the most impressive moment of her career at CERN and what we have to look forward to in the next 70 years of #ParticlePhysics. Can you guess which historical moment Fabiola is talking about? #CERN70 | CERN
