#ThrowbackThurdsday to June 1980 🏃‍♂️ That summer, Leon Van Hove (CERN’s Director General at that time) kicked off the traditional annual relay race, a tradition that still takes place to this day #AtCERN. Twice Director of the Theory Division, Leon Van Hove oversaw the official

Summer students #AtCERN 💻 Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features a lecture given by CERN’s Director General Fabiola Gianotti to the 2025 class of summer students in the audience. The CERN Summer Student Programme offers STEM students pursuing bachelor’s or master’s degrees the

Here we see the recently-inaugurated control room of the @CMSexperiment, where the physicists carry out the monitoring and supervision of the experiment’s operations around the clock. The interior of this control room is twice as large as the previous one. Located next to the

#ThrowbackThursday to August 1970 🔙 Here we see the first large units of the magnetic shielding designed for the European hydrogen bubble chamber, arriving #AtCERN from the ‘Forges et Ateliers de la Loire’ (France). The European hydrogen bubble chamber, also known as the Big

Sun is up 🌞 Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features some summer moments #AtCERN. From welcoming summer students to hosting festivals, outdoor workshops, science shows and community events, the summer time at the Laboratory is filled with a vibrant atmosphere. Are you planning to

Today we feature equipment of the future #HiLumiLHC, the successor to CERN's Large Hadron Collider, which aims to increase the number of particle collisions for further discoveries to be made. Here we see the installation of a so-called “corrector package” in the IT string – a

#ThrowbackThursday to 1995 ✨ Here we see one of the six hodoscopes, made of 48 scintillator counters, used in the NA50 experiment. #DidYouKnow: hodoscopes are instruments used in particle detectors, to determine the particle’s trajectories. NA50 is one of CERN’s seven

#FunFact: during this year’s edition, the ISS could be noticed in the sky while the Miss Proper and the Moving Targets band was playing.

CERN summer nights, mid-July 🎸 This #PhotoOfTheWeek brings you to the Hardronic Music Festival, which took place #AtCERN earlier this month. The Hardronic Music Festival was created in 1989 by Silvano de Gennaro and has been taking place for the last three decades.

Quantum simulators in high-energy physics 💫 Here we see: 1️⃣Quantum simulator at the University of Innsbruck (📸C. Lackner/Innsbruck) 2️⃣Neutral atom experiment at Standford University (📸Standford/Choi Research Group) 3️⃣Vacuum chamber of a trapped-ion quantum computer (📸E.

#ThrowbackThursday to the construction of water canals in the 70s At the time, CERN’s Laboratory II was the site of numerous experiments and accelerator construction projects. The water canals at Laboratory II were used to cool the magnets of the Super Proton Synchrotron – the

Mission: Discovery 🌌 Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek gives a nod to last week’s event STELLAR, where, together with astronauts, @NobelPrize winners and other world-class scientists, we discovered how astrophysics and particle physics are shaping the future. The event offered engaging

Here we see a klystron, an electronic component used to amplify high-frequency radio waves by a factor of up to a million. In particle colliders, they can be used to power radiofrequency cavities and thus play a key role in accelerating particles. CERN launched the
