CERN

Join us #AtCERN for a galactic journey where science and music collide 💫 Young pianists from Haute école de musique de Genève - Neuchâtel (HEM) will be playing pieces from inspirational composers, with stunning scientific films of subatomic particles, the solar system and the Universe as a background, produced by Emmy-nominated astronomer and filmmaker José Francisco Salgado. This event will be co-created by CERN, the HEM and KV 265, a non-profit organisation whose mission is the communication of science through music and the visual arts. 📍CERN Science Gateway, Auditorium Sergio Marchionne 📆 31 March  2026, starting from 19h30 🔗Register here: indico.cern.ch/event/1606882/

‘Tis the season of heavy ions   Last Friday at 3.40 pm, a new #HeavyIon run began at the Large Hadron Colliderthe fourth of #LHCRun3. Usually at the end of each proton run, CERN physicists collide heavy ions to free quarks and recreate the conditions that existed in the early #Universe just after the Big Bang.   Find out more about the primordial state of matter studied in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC: youtube.com/watch?v=mBfJAc…
