Here we see the CERN-MEDICIS (Medical Isotopes Collected from ISOLDE) facility.

The facility is designed to produce radioisotopes with the right properties to enhance the precision of patient imaging and treatment, and to improve the success of cancer treatment.

Elusive romance of top-quark pairs observed at the LHC

The @cmsexperiment.bsky.social and @atlasexperiment.bsky.social at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that they form a fleeting union

Theorists' take on Quantum 👩🏻‍🏫👨‍🏫

We recently invited our community #AtCERN to describe quantum. Now, it's the turn of the physicists to share their insights.

Hear from Miguel, Wilke, and Irene as they share their perspective on what #quantum is.

In this #WorldEnvironmentDay, we #ThrowbackThursday to 1975 🐟

In these pictures, we see the Lion stream flowing through the CERN site in Prévessin, France. Today, CERN continues to manage its environmental footprint by collecting and analysing numerous water samples each year.

The #HiLumiLHC aims to increase the number of particle collisions (luminosity) and so boost the amount of physics data generated and collected by the experiments.

Stay tuned next week for a ‘warmer’ #HiLumiLHC report.

At the IT String, being assembled inside a surface building at CERN, engineers will validate the collective behaviour of the complete final focusing region of the #HiLumiLHC (magnets, circuits, cooling systems, etc.), in conditions as close as possible to the operational ones in the LHC tunnel.

Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features the CERN stand at Rochexpo, which took place last week in La Roche-sur-Foron, France.

Visitors of CERN’s booth had the chance to talk to our scientists, hear about all sorts of curiosities about the Laboratory, and participate in the workshops.
