CERN celebrates 20 years of a free, open web
Twenty years ago CERN published a statement that made the World Wide Web ("W3", or simply "the web") technology available on a royalty-free basis.

AMS experiment measures antimatter excess in space
Geneva 3 April 2013. The international team running the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS ) today announced the first results in its search for dark matter. The results, presented by AMS spokesperson Professor Samuel Ting in a seminar at CERN 2 , are to be published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

ATRAP experiment makes world’s most precise measurement of antiproton magnetic moment
Geneva, 25 March 2013. In today's Physical Review Letters , the Antihydrogen TRAP ( ATRAP ) experiment at CERN 2 's Antiproton Decelerator ( AD ) reports a new measurement of the antiprotonmagnetic moment made with an unprecedented uncertainty of 4.4 parts per million (ppm). This result is 680 times more precise than previous measurements.  The unusual increase in precision is due to the experiment's ability to trap individual protons and antiprotons, and to using a huge magnetic gradient to gain sensitivity to the tiny magnetic moment.

New results indicate that particle discovered at CERN is a Higgs boson
Geneva, 14 March 2013. At the Moriond Conference today, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN 's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) presented preliminary new results that further elucidate the particle discovered last year.  Having analysed two and a half times more data than was available for the discovery announcement in July, they find that the new particle is looking more and more like a Higgs boson, the particle linked to the mechanism that gives mass to elementary particles.

Read more about LHC experiments to present latest results at Moriond conference
Geneva 1 March 2013. Experiments at CERN 's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are set to present their latest results at the Moriond conference, which begins tomorrow in the Italian town of La Thuile, and runs until 16 March. Although all of the LHC experiments will present results, eyes will be on the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, which will give updates on the analyses of the new particle whose discovery was announced last July.

First three-year LHC running period reaches a conclusion
Geneva 14 February 2013. At 7.24am, the shift crew in the CERN Control Centre extracted the beams from the Large Hadron Collider, bringing the machine's first three-year running period to a successful conclusion. The LHC's first run has seen major advances in physics, including the discovery of a new particle that looks increasingly like the long-sought Higgs boson, announced on 4 July 2012.

The first LHC protons run ends with new milestone
Geneva, 17 December 2012. This morning CERN completed the first LHC proton run. The remarkable first three-year run of the world's most powerful particle accelerator was crowned by a new performance milestone. The space between proton bunches in the beams was halved to further increase beam intensity.
