CERN1's unique new antimatter factory, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has begun delivering antiprotons to experiments. These experiments will study antimatter in depth to determine if there is a difference between it and ordinary matter.

"Signatures of the Invisible" is an unique collaboration between contemporary artists and contemporary physicists which has the potential to help redefine the relationship between science and art. "Signatures of the Invisible" is jointly organised by the London Institute - the world's largest college of art and design and CERN*, the world's leading particle physics laboratory.
12 leading visual artists:

On Monday 26 June Luciano Maiani, Director-General of CERN*, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, opened the "Supersymmetry 2000" conference which is taking place at CERN in Geneva this week. Many of the world's top physicists are gathering to present their work and discuss possible signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, such as novel particles and large extra dimensions of space, and the problem of energy in the vacuum, first raised by Einstein.

A special workshop on Fundamental Physics in Space and related topics will be held at CERN* in Geneva from 5 to 7 April 2000. Remarkable advances in technology and progress made in reliability and cost effectiveness of European space missions in recent years have opened up exciting new directions for such research. The workshop provides a forum for sharing expertise gained in high energy physics research with colleagues working in research in space.

Physics is everywhere. The laws of physics govern the Universe, the Sun, the Earth and even our own lives. In today's rapidly developing society, we are becoming increasingly dependent on high technology - computers, transport, and communication are just some of the key areas that are the result of discoveries by scientists working in physics.
But how much do the citizens of Europe really know about physics? Here is a unique opportunity to learn more about this elusive subject!

At a special seminar on 10 February, spokespersons from the experiments on CERN* 's Heavy Ion programme presented compelling evidence for the existence of a new state of matter in which quarks, instead of being bound up into more complex particles such as protons and neutrons, are liberated to roam freely.
