- Bem-vindo @gilbertogil 🎸 The Brazilian singer/songwriter, and former Minister of Culture (2003-2008), visited #ELENA at CERN and played his song Quanta - a song about “the art of creating knowledge, discovery and innovation” from the Grammy-winning album with the same name.
- What happens if you drop an anti-apple? In a paper published today in @Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN’s Antimatter Factory shows that, within the precision of their experiment, atoms of antihydrogen – a positron orbiting an antiproton – fall to Earth in the same way as
00:00 - It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Peter Higgs. An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson in 1964. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model of particle physics –
- #OnThisDay thirty years ago, in 1993, CERN released the World Wide Web software to the public. Proposed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the web was originally created to allow scientists and institutes from all over the globe who were working on CERN data to share information accurately
- CERN congratulates the winners of the 2025 @NobelPrize in #Physics 👏 John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis were awarded the #NobelPrize for their experiments with an electrical circuit, in which they demonstrated both quantum mechanical tunnelling and quantisedBREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”
- Happy #AntimatterDay!⚪⚫ #OnThisDay in 1928, Paul Dirac published a paper, which was key to proving the existence of #antimatter. He received the @NobelPrize in 1933. 🔗home.cern/science/physic…
- “A giant of our field has left us, but his immortal contributions will remain forever.” CERN scientists pay tribute to Stephen Hawking: cern.ch/go/R97G
- Today, it is the @UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science. To celebrate #WomenInScience, follow some of our scientists and engineers as they show you behind the scenes of the work they do at CERN. For #WomenInScienceDay, meet Cristina, Nuclear and Chemical engineer.
00:00 - How time flies: it has been eight years since @ATLASexperiment and @CMSExperiment announced the discovery of the #HiggsBoson! Happy Higgs discovery day!
- CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs Peter Higgs’ scientific legacy will extend far beyond the scope of current discoveries. The Higgs boson is linked to some of the most intriguing and crucial outstanding questions in fundamental physics. This still quite mysterious particle
