CERN

Did you know CERN also welcomes biomedical engineers? 🤔 Meet Francesca, biomedical engineer and PhD student #AtCERN, who works in the robotics team of the Beams department. We asked her to tell us about her career path and her usual activities at work.

🎓 Your PhD was just the beginning. Now, embark on the scientific journey you’ve always envisioned. Applications for our Research Fellowships are open! This is a call to all PhD graduates in physics and engineering who aspire to shape the future of scientific breakthroughs. Within this Programme, you can develop your research within a specific research group at CERN,  from analysing data and developing experimental setups to working on  upgrades for the next generation of experiments and particle colliders. Please note that these positions are reserved for applicants with no more than three years of professional experience in applied physics and engineering or six years in experimental physics after obtaining their PhD. 👉Discover all the details about the positions, the eligibility criteria and more about CERN here: Research Fellowship (Experimental Physics) - https://smrtr.io/wTpzx  Research Fellowship (Applied Physics & Engineering) - https://smrtr.io/wTpzm CERN.

Groundbreaking calorimeter for the #HiLumiLHC The CMS Collaboration has recently completed the first prototype slice of its innovative High-Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL), which will be the largest silicon-based detector ever built. Scientists from all over the world are contributing to the first complete prototype of a wedge-shaped slice of the new CMS endcap calorimeter. This slice – shown in the video – is known as a “cassette” and is being built in a clean room at the CMS experiment site.

Heating homes with the world’s largest particle accelerator Now operational, a new heat exchange system is reusing hot water from part of the Large Hadron Collider’s cooling system to heat homes and businesses in the local area. In the image, we see the #LHC eight surface points. Point 8, home of the LHCb experiment, is located close to the French town of Ferney-Voltaire.

European labs get aligned at CERN Eleven laboratories came to CERN to measure the same object using their state-of-the-art equipment, in order to establish a common definition of alignment uncertainty in their measurements. Precision measurements are extremely important for accelerator laboratories. For collisions to take place in the #LHC, the accelerator components must be aligned with a margin of error equivalent to the thickness of a single sheet of paper. The #HiLumiLHC will require even higher precision. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eQ3Rq9Wn 

Meet Javier, an engineering graduate working on an anomaly detection system. #OurPeople “For me, working at CERN is a unique experience, both professionally and personally. It is not only a highly technical environment where you can learn from the best, but also a place where you meet people with interests very similar to your own.” Read Javier’s full story: https://lnkd.in/dkEvW8bY CERN.

Exploring asteroids with particle beams CERN’s #HiRadMat facility is enabling scientists to delve into the behaviour of asteroid materials under extreme conditions. In the latest issue of the CERN Courier, researchers share insights on using high-energy proton beams from the Super Proton Synchrotron to investigate meteorite material.

What can you do with 380 million #Higgs bosons? What is the fate of the universe? Why is there more matter than #antimatter? What lurks beyond the #Standard Model? Valentina Cairo and Steven Lowette explore the physics reach of the HiLumi Project (#HiLumiLHC) in the new issue of the CERN Courier.

🌍 CERN Roadshows Autumn 2025 - Connecting with Students Across Europe! 🌍   This autumn, CERN teams travelled to the Netherlands, Germany, Czechia, and the UK to bring CERN closer to students at universities and technician schools. At each stop, we showcased CERN’s work and the many opportunities available for students, from internships and graduate positions to PhD programmes and fellowships. 🎓✨   Our team of experts not only delivered presentations but also engaged with students in an informal setting, exchanging ideas and experiences over refreshments.   These roadshows are all about making connections, sparking curiosity, and showing students the exciting possibilities that CERN can offer. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and look forward to continuing these exchanges in 2026! 🚀 Where would you like to meet CERN in 2026? Leave a comment below. CERN.
