The European Organization for Nuclear Research (French: Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire), known as CERN, is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, situated in the northwest suburbs of Geneva on the franco-Swiss border.
The organisation is currently the workplace of approximately 2600 full-time employees. Some 7931 scientists and engineers (representing 500 universities and 80 nationalities), about half of the world's particle physics community, work on experiments conducted at CERN.

Am Teilchenbeschleuniger CERN bei Genf geht's um Teilchenkollision. So auch hier:Tropfenkollisionen. Und, was soll ich sagen: Mein Beschleuniger ist viel billiger gewesen. :)
update: - und läuft nicht so heiss!
This is part of the monument out the front of CERN, on the outskirts of Geneva. Definitely worth a visit to learn about the Large Hadron Collider and the other amazing experiments they do there.
Nature does it all the time with cosmic rays (and with higher energy) but this is the first time this is done in Laboratory!
Or Cernesto, I enjoy the Urban Naturalism views on the artist's web page.
This mural was seen at Welling Court in Astoria, Queens.
Feel free to this picture use anywhere you want to! Just don't forget to give the credits and please notify me.
CERN in a nutshell
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter — the fundamental particles. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.
The instruments used at CERN are particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before they are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.
Founded in 1954, the CERN Laboratory sits astride the Franco–Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe’s first joint ventures and now has 20 Member States.

The Globe of Science and Innovation represents a gateway between science, culture, education and society, promoting the dissemination of scientific information among all types of audience.
Created on 21 November 2007, the Foundation for the Globe of Science and Innovation is responsible for the management and operation of the Globe. The Foundation promotes the development of projects associated with the transmission of knowledge in the fields of science, particle physics, cutting-edge technologies and their applications in everyday life.
The purposes of the Foundation are to showcase the Globe of Science and Innovation and to promote (including financially) its scientific, cultural and educational activities and its influence within the Geneva region and internationally.
The Foundation for the Globe of Science and Innovation allocates resources to ensure the successful completion of this programme of activities, and contributes to the funding of new infrastructures and equipment and to activities associated with the maintenance and operation of the Globe.
