Since 2003, a LHC dipole magnet turned into a telescope has been following the Sun's movements from behind a concrete wall. This is the CAST experiment - hunting for hypothetical "axion" particles that could be produced in the centre of our star ☀️ Find out more about this experiment: https://home.cern/science/experiments/cast | CERN

🕶 Discover CERN in Virtual Reality with this short clip. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the LHC. It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. Al

Happy New Year from CERN! Together, the thousands of physicists, engineers and technicians from all over the world made 2016 a year of record-breaking achievements across CERN's diverse scientific programme. In 2017, the adventure continues! The LHC has more to offer, as the proton collisions produced this year only represent 1% of the target for the LHC full operational lifetime. Many exciting scientific and technological accomplishments lie ahead, and we look forward to another year of brillia
