Scientists and engineers are examining the universe’s core structure at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. They investigate the fundamental building blocks of matter—basic particles designed to smash at nearly the speed of light—using the largest and most sophisticated scientific instruments in the world. The procedure provides physicists with insights into the basic laws of nature and hints about how particles interact. Visit home.cern to learn more.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN’s mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization.
