Florian Guillaume: “Where we found the Higgs and invented the web, seventeen thousand scientists from a hundred countries work as one.”
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
