CERN, the renowned European Organization for Nuclear Research, is marking its 70th anniversary with a focus on unlocking the mysteries of dark matter and advancing scientific knowledge for global peace. Established in 1954, CERN has evolved into a leading research center housing the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider.
The Large Hadron Collider, a marvel of modern science, propels particles at near-light speeds within a 27-kilometer underground loop, enabling scientists to recreate conditions akin to the early universe moments after the Big Bang. This groundbreaking research has led to significant discoveries, including the confirmation of the Higgs boson particle in 2012, a crucial component of the Standard Model of particle physics.
