A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

GENEVA--The CERN Computer Center is the number-crunching hub that powers the physics research lab's quest to discover the nature of the universe. About half of these cores will be used to deal with ...

SKA Organisation and CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, signed an agreement formalising their growing collaboration in the area of extreme-scale computing. The agreement establishes a ...

The computing grid built to carry data from the Large Hadron Collider to scientists around the world is also being used to speed the development of life-saving drugs and uncover the causes of climate ...

Earth Observation (EO) and particle physics research have more in common than you might think. In both environments, whether capturing fleeting particle collisions or detecting transient traces of ...

It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...

Scientific institution CERN now has more than one million terabytes of disk space at its data centers. The exabyte of storage is split across 111,000 devices, primarily hard disks alongside a growing ...

CERN, the scientific research organization behind the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has opened a quantum networking lab. At an event celebrating the lab’s launch, CERN teamed with Dutch ...

CERN has begun powering a full-scale test stand for its High-Luminosity LHC upgrade, marking a major step toward a tenfold increase in particle collisions by 2030. The milestone comes amid a ...

Most of what CERN does sounds like the rarefied heights of sci-fi, accessible only to physicists with badges and pocket protectors, or academics who use esoteric software -- not to mere mortals like ...
