The secrets of CERN
Sightseeing
You’ve probably heard of CERN: The European Organization for Nuclear Research. Located at the Esplanade des Particules at the French-Swiss border, it’s one of the world’s most important scientific laboratories, on a mission to understand the universe through the study of fundamental particles. To better understand the centre’s work, you can take a guided tour, which includes a visit to the impressive Synchrocyclotron accelerator, the predecessor of CERN’s famous Large Hadron Collider, which is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world… shaped like a ring that’s 27 km long!
