Description

European Organization for Nuclear Research

CERN's main function is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research – as a result, numerous experiments have been constructed at CERN as a result of international collaborations.

CERN is also the birthplace of the World Wide Web. The main site at Meyrin has a large computer facility containing powerful data processing facilities, primarily for experimental-data analysis; because of the need to make these facilities available to researchers elsewhere, it has historically been a major wide area networking hub.

CERN offers visitors the opportunity to explore at one's own pace two permanent exhibitions:

"Science Gateway"

opened in October 2023, is CERN's latest facility for science outreach and education. It is home to a range of immersive exhibits, workshops, and shows.

Find out how CERN studies particles
Particle collisions reveal how the Universe works at its most basic level and how tiny particles interact to make up everything we experience around us today. Thousands of scientists from all around the world collaborate to design and operate the giant particle detectors used to study the collisions made by CERN's accelerators. The data from the collisions are processed using a global network of computers.

Quantum World
Explore how the Universe works at tiny scales
Exploring the infinitely small means encountering some strange behaviour. Here, the laws of physics are very different to the ones we're familiar with on the human scale.
In the world of particles, uncertainty rules: a particle can be in several places at once, even the most unlikely events occur, and two particles can influence each other instantaneously across vast distances. These are the laws of quantum physics. Such phenomena can only be perceived at the scale of atoms and molecules, but they have very real consequences in our daily life. Quantum physics explains why the sun shines, it allows us to make smartphones and to understand how plants grow.
Radiomuseum.org presents here one of the many museum pages. We try to bring data for your direct information about all that is relevant. In the list (link above right) you find the complete listing of museums related to "Radio & Co." we have information of. Please help us to be complete and up to date by using the contact form above.
