Introduction: The European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, is home to the world’s largest particle physics laboratory and famous for its gigantic circular particle colliders . These facilities accelerate subatomic particles to nearly the speed of light and smash them together, allowing scientists to probe the fundamental building blocks of matter. Beyond the captivating quest to understand the universe, CERN’s work has led to profound scientific discoveries , spurred major technological innovations , fostered international collaboration and education, and continues to chart ambitious future projects . Below, we explore how CERN and its colliders have advanced physics, driven technology (from the World Wide Web to medical therapies), impacted society, and what lies ahead in their ongoing mission. Scientific Contributions ( View of the ATLAS detector during July 2007 ) Inside the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider – one of the massive experiments ...
