We study the underlying structure of the particles that make up the world around us at CERN. We do this by utilizing the biggest and most intricate scientific instruments on the planet.

Our work at CERN contributes to understanding the nature of the cosmos and its functioning. In order to push the limits of human knowledge, we do this by offering researchers a distinctive array of particle accelerator facilities.

Researchers studying the underlying structure of the cosmos include engineers and physicists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. They investigate the fundamental particles that are designed to collide at almost the speed of light, the building blocks of matter, using the biggest and most sophisticated scientific apparatuses on the planet. Scientists may learn more about the underlying principles of nature and how particles interact with one another thanks to this process. Visit home.cern to learn more.
