On a microscopic scale, our world is governed by quantum physics. Beyond the fundamental questions and 'mysteries' of quantum mechanics, the ability to control this microscopic realm opens up exciting ...

In carrying out the mission with which it is entrusted by its Member States, the Organization collects and uses personal data related to people interacting with CERN, including CERN contributors (i.e.

The CERN Bulletin is a fortnightly newsletter to update our community regarding the latest news, official communications and announcements from CERN.

In 1929 the American astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the distances to far-away galaxies were proportional to their redshifts. Redshift occurs when a light source moves away from its observer: ...
