Company Description
At CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers explore the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter—fundamental particles that are made to collide at close to the speed of light. This process provides insights into how particles interact and the fundamental laws of nature.
