Under the auspices of the SACERN Programme, administered by NRF-iThemba LABS, researchers and postgraduate students from South Africa contribute to CERN’s ALICE, ATLAS, and ISOLDE experiments and covers a wide range of disciplines such as quantum-field theories, nuclear astrophysics, solid-state physics, big data and artificial intelligence, and much more.
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on home.cern.
