CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), also known as the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is a large scientific research organization located near Geneva, Switzerland. It is one of the world’s leading centers for particle physics research, with a focus on studying the fundamental nature of matter and the universe.
CERN operates the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is used to smash subatomic particles together at extremely high speeds. This produces high-energy collisions that can be studied to better understand the properties of matter and the forces that govern the universe.
