Correction: in minute 00:04, the person in the video is Swiss physicist Professor Paul Scherrer.

You are veiling the universe instead, through your fatal misconceptions and wasteful, meaningless experiments. Now you represent science in its worst form: another institutionalized religion.

I know of 2 vastly different ways of exploring the unknown: Science and Spirituality. I'm privileged to be able to have a glimpse of both & very much looking forward to understanding more about the Universe this afternoon/evening at @CERN, #Geneva.

Here we see, for the first time ever, the transport of unbonded protons across the CERN site, a big step towards portable #antimatter. CERN’s Antimatter Factory is the only place in the world where scientists can store and study antiprotons. But scientists at the BASE experiment hope to change this state of matter with an apparatus designed to store and transport antimatter. Last week, a team of BASE scientists and engineers took an important step towards this goal by transporting a cloud of 70 protons in a truck across the CERN site. Find out more about this first-time achievement:

Café au CERN Coffee at CERN ☕ What does the search for the unknown tell us about being human? #AtCERN we endeavour to study some of the #Universe biggest mysteries, an effort that provokes debate, self-reflection; it is a test of strength, belief and hope. For this #MotivationMonday, watch a clip from the short film “Café au CERN” by director Jeroen Pool, created for this year’s #CERN70 celebrations, which gives us a glimpse into the daily routine of coffee at CERN.

CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs Peter Higgs’ scientific legacy will extend far beyond the scope of current discoveries. The Higgs boson is linked to some of the most intriguing and crucial outstanding questions in fundamental physics. This still quite mysterious particle therefore represents a uniquely promising pathway to physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

“In the next 10 years we are going to be entering what I feel like is a new renaissance.” Nobel Prize laureate Demis Hassabis was awarded the Nobel Prize for using AI to predict the structure of proteins. For him, AI is a tool that will help scientists make even more discoveries in the years to come. Hassabis took part in our Nobel Prize Dialogue ‘The Future of Science With AI’ which discussed how AI might transform science in the future. Watch the full event at

#OnThisDay twelve years ago, two experiments at CERN announced the existence of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson. Named after the late theoretical physicist Peter Higgs, its discovery crowned the #StandardModel of particle physics. In 2013, the The Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their 1964 proposal of the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism. To mark 60 years since Peter Higgs published his now famous paper predicting the existence of the boson named after him, here we see 60 event displays from ATLAS Experiment and CMS Experiment CERN, showing collisions where a Higgs boson is produced and then decays into various particles. #FunFact: in the audio, you can hear Peter Higgs speak about the discovery in his own words.

What happens if you drop an anti-apple? In a paper published today in nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN’s Antimatter Factory shows that, within the precision of their experiment, atoms of antihydrogen – a positron orbiting an antiproton – fall to Earth in the same way as their matter equivalents. This result is a milestone in the study of the properties and behaviour of antimatter. Find out more:

Here we see a sneak peek of a demonstration included in the science shows presented to #CERNScienceGateway visitors. In the video, we see a superconducting train advancing on tracks made of magnets. The train contains a disc made from a special ceramic called YBCO. By pouring liquid nitrogen on the disc, we cool it down to almost -196°C. At this temperature, the YBCO disc enters a superconducting state, changing its properties considerably. This phenomenon is called the flux-pinning effect – the disc gets “stuck” in the tracks’ magnetic field, causing the train to levitate and allowing it to move along the axis of the tracks. Join us at #CERNScienceGateway to learn more about how superconductors are used at CERN:
