Florian Guillaume: “Seventeen thousand scientists from a hundred countries work there as one. This is where the Higgs was found and the web was invented.”
The European Organization for Nuclear Research operates the world's largest particle physics laboratory on the French-Swiss border near Geneva. Home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27km ring that accelerates particles to 99.9999991% of the speed of light. Key discovery: the Higgs boson (2012), confirming the mechanism that gives particles mass. Beyond physics, CERN is where the World Wide Web was invented (Tim Berners-Lee, 1989). A model of international scientific cooperation: 17,000+ sci
