CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, operates the world's largest particle physics laboratory on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. Founded in 1954 as a post-World War II symbol of scientific unity, it houses the monumental Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and birthed the World Wide Web. With 25 member states and thousands of global collaborators, CERN drives breakthroughs like the Higgs boson discovery while pioneering technologies from hadron therapy to quantum computing.
