New at Science Gateway: "Les vrais chercheurs ne savent pas ce qu'ils cherchent" (Real researchers don’t know what they’re looking for), a documentary by Jean-Luc Perréard et Cédric Klapisch about CERN.
Made to mark CERN’s seventieth anniversary, The peace particle is a documentary written and directed by Alex Kiehl, which combines poetry, music and rare archival footage, with special access to the Large Hadron Collider, to reveal how CERN emerged from the ashes of war and continues to promote peace through science, now and in the future.
Practical information
Discover how particle detectors are used in experiments at CERN — and even in space —through an exciting adventure game!
Aerospace and particle physics share many similarities. Both require electronics that can operate in extreme environments, and both must process vast amounts of data quickly and autonomously. Did you know that one of CERN's particle detectors is actually on board the International Space Station?
