A group of 26 Physics students at the Junior College recently visited CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), where physicists from over a hundred countries, including Malta, come together to devise experiments to discover the fundamental particles that make up matter and to understand the laws that ultimately govern the universe. CERN’s flagship scientific facility is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), currently the largest experiment in the world, which lies deep underground below Geneva, Switzerland, and the Jura mountains in France. During the visit they group also visited Mont Blanc. Photo shows them at the Franco-Swiss border.
