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

When particle physicists at CERN see “h.c.” in a long formula, what do they think of? ☕️ Let's have a coffee with the Standard Model of particle physics to find out! https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6552/aa5b25 | CERN

CERN is the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. This is what it's been up to recently. Discover more: http://ow.ly/hjSW50K7uM4 | World Economic Forum
