Earlier this week, a team of scientists from the BASE experiment #AtCERN succeeded in transporting antiprotons in a truck across the Laboratory’s main site.
Christian Smorra explains how the BASE-STEP portable antiproton trap captures and stores antiprotons.
Antimatter on the move 🚛
Today, in a world first, a team of scientists from the BASE experiment #AtCERN succeeded in transporting antiprotons in a truck across the Laboratory’s main site.

What does a research fellow actually do #AtCERN? 🤔
Meet Mia, a research fellow in the Systems department, contributing to ISOLDE, where scientists study the properties of atomic nuclei, with further applications in fundamental studies, astrophysics, and material and life sciences.
#WomenInScience
Did you know CERN also welcomes biomedical engineers? 🤔
Meet Francesca, biomedical engineer and PhD student #AtCERN, who works in the robotics team of the Beams department.

The magic of Christmas #AtCERN 🎄
This #ThrowbackThursday brings you back to winter celebrations at the Laboratory over the years.Which picture is your favourite? 👇
The first coherent spin spectroscopy on a single antiproton performed by the BASE collaboration #AtCERN is recognised as one of the 2025 Top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year by @physicsworld.bsky.social.
This #ThrowbackThursday we feature a set of event displays from 1987, recorded by the NA35 experiment.
NA35 was a particle physics experiment #AtCERN, using particle beams from the SPS.
It studied relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions to search for evidence of new forms of quark matter.
Some of these isotopes can only be produced #AtCERN. They are then sent to hospitals and research centres in Switzerland and across Europe for further study.
MEDICIS is supported by donors and partners through the CERN & Society Foundation.
In this #PhotoOfTheWeek, we take a look at two @nobelprize.org medals, now on display #AtCERN.
Last month, CERN unveiled the Nobel medal of Felix Bloch – CERN's first Director-General – awarded for the development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods.
#AtCERN, numerous experiments are dedicated to advancing our understanding of dark matter and studying the particles that could potentially make up dark matter.

📣 ‘Tis the season for public events #AtCERN
CERN invites you to join our upcoming events this November. #GenerationHiggs
If you're in the Geneva (Switzerland) area, enjoy a rich cultural programme featuring music, science talks, and more.

In this back-to-school season, we #ThrowbackThursday to the 1970s, with various workshops held #AtCERN.
To this day, CERN has a Main Workshop, which provides the necessary mechanical components and materials for #ParticlePhysics experiments.
#ThrowbackThursday to 1976 🎥
Here we see Georges-Henri Martin, Chief-Editor of La Tribune de Genève – a local news outlet from Switzerland – interviewing CERN’s Director General at that time, John Adams, during a break at a meeting in the Main Building (Image 1) #AtCERN.
The summer I was… wandering the immeasurable 🌀
Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features one of the most recognisable visit points #AtCERN – the steel sculpture in front of the Globe of Science and Innovation.
Here we see the so-called cold powering system, designed for the #HiLumiLHC and assembled and qualified #AtCERN earlier this summer.
#ThrowbackThurdsday to June 1980 🏃♂️
That summer, Leon Van Hove (CERN’s Director General at that time) kicked off the traditional annual relay race, a tradition that still takes place to this day #AtCERN.
CERN summer nights, mid-July 🎸
This #PhotoOfTheWeek brings you to the Hardronic Music Festival, which took place #AtCERN earlier this month. The Hardronic Music Festival was created in 1989 by Silvano de Gennaro and has been taking place for the last three decades.
Science meets nature #atCern; hadn't seen a frog in a real environment since childhood! @cern.bsky.social
#ThrowbackThursday to the summer of 1982 🧑🏫
Here we see physicist John Bell, known for his theorem on the foundations of quantum mechanics – which he worked on #AtCERN – laying the groundwork for the now-vibrant field of quantum information.
Summertime #nostalgia 🌞
This #ThrowbackThursday, we take a look at some summer moments #AtCERN from the past decades:
1️⃣ Engineers calculating outdoors due to overheating barracks during a heatwave (1970)
2️⃣ A Fiat 500 parked inside one of CERN’s buildings (1960)
The letter, preserved in the Wolfgang Pauli Archive #AtCERN, reveals Heisenberg’s efforts to liberate physics from the semi-classical picture of atoms as planetary systems, with electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
A glimpse of life #AtCERN 💫
Beyond accelerating particles and exploring the mysteries of our Universe, CERN also offers an active social programme.
Ready, set, #Bike2Work 🚲
This #PhotoOfTheWeek features a festive group bike ride organised #AtCERN to celebrate the end of the #Bike2Work challenge.
Which other emblematic place #AtCERN deserves to be on this list? Let us know below. 👇
Theorists' take on Quantum 👩🏻🏫👨🏫
We recently invited our community #AtCERN to describe quantum. Now, it's the turn of the physicists to share their insights.
Hear from Miguel, Wilke, and Irene as they share their perspective on what #quantum is.
Here we see the Linear Accelerator 4 (Linac 4), one of CERN’s accelerators.
Some accelerators #AtCERN, such as Linac 4, are learning to operate autonomously thanks to artificial intelligence.
