CERN: The Worlds Largest Physics Laboratory

CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) is the leading international research organization in the field of particle physics. Founded in 1954, CERN is located in Geneva, Switzerland, and has 23 member countries.

CERN focuses on fundamental research into the structure of matter and the universe. They use giant particle accelerators to study the particles that make up atoms and their interactions.

- Large Hadron Collider (LHC): The world's largest particle accelerator, studying the particles that make up atoms and the Higgs Boson. - A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE): Studying quark-gluon plasma matter, the early state of the universe. - A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS): Studying the Higgs Boson and other new physics phenomena. - Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS): Studying the Higgs Boson and other new particles. - Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment (LHCb): Studying particle asymmetry and flavor physics.

- Higgs Boson: A fundamental particle that gives mass to other particles. - Antimatter: Particles that are the opposite of matter. - Neutrinos: Particles that have almost no mass and move almost as fast as light.

- Advancing science and technology. - Encourage international collaboration. - Strengthen STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
