CERN has yet to produce images as compelling as those I can snag in the local car wash.

At #CERN we mostly employ engineers, but from time to time there are job openings for #writers and #editors. CERN Courier magazine currently has a graduate opening for an Associate #Editor.
The position is open to graduates from CERN member states with a Master's degree and not more than six years' experience post-graduation. Full details below.
If your network includes people who are interested in #science #communication, please boost!
#Russia and #Belarus no longer welcome at #CERN.
CERN Council decides "To terminate the International Cooperation Agreement between CERN and the Russian Federation, together with all related protocols and addenda, with effect from 30 November 2024;" Finally some good news. Belarus gets the same treatment. https://council.web.cern.ch/sites/default/files/c-e-3757-Resolution%20RU%2015%20December%202023.pdf
Scientists at CERN are embarking on an exciting quest to uncover mysterious ghost particles that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe! With a new experiment set to begin in 2030, they aim to detect these elusive particles, which might make up a significant portion of the cosmos. This groundbreaking research could answer fundamental questions about existence! #CERN #GhostParticles #ScienceNews
Physicists have made a groundbreaking discovery at CERN, capturing an elusive 4D "ghost" particle! This remarkable achievement opens new doors in our understanding of the universe.
Dive into the details of this fascinating research and what it means for the future of physics!

#Russland unter #Putin nutzt die #Wissenschaft für #Politik und besetzt offenbar Leitungsposten mit problematischen Personen.
Nun muss auch das #CERN die Verbindungen kappen, obwohl sie sogar im Kalten Krieg zusammengearbeitet haben.

Keine gute Nachricht.
70 Jahre CERN: Internet, Krebstherapie und Elementarteilchen
Das europäische Kernforschungszentrum CERN feiert sein 70-jähriges Bestehen. Hier wurde unter anderem das World Wide Web erfunden und das berühmte Higgs-Teilchen nachgewiesen. Und es gibt schon ein neues Großprojekt. Von K. Hondl.
Great #student opportunity at #CERN: 1-year #internship to work with them and @swheritage to measure/map/visualize the contributions to #FOSS of CERN employees over time, using #SoftwareHeritage archive data.

I've been thinking about an unusual kind of garbage problem. When the Large Hadron Collider shuts down, all those high-speed particles have to go somewhere.
This is where: An 8.5-meter-long radioactive graphite trash can, called a beam dump.

Bäst är kanske ändå denna. Musiken!

I've had the chance to visit some sites at CERN this week, including their Antimatter Factory with the ELENA project [1]. As the name suggests, this is where CERN produces antimatter by decelerating antiprotons so much that they can be combined with a positron (the antiparticle of the Electron) to form an antihydrogen atom.

I heard the word "CERN" for the first time as a teenager, related to the place the Web began.
Today after a few decades I got to see the place where it happened.
