Dive into the fascinating synergy of particle physics and climate science as CERN alumni Dan Shaked Renous and Yi-Ling Hwong lead an engaging panel discussion at our upcoming Third Collisions event: https://alumni.cern/news/1795075

On the topic of climate, CERN published its environment report for 2021–2022, highlighting progress and areas for future development in CERN’s ongoing efforts to minimise its environmental footprint: https://home.cern/news/news/knowledge-sharing/cern-publishes-its-environment-report-2021-2022

CERN recently hosted the fifth International Open Search symposium, where over 100 experts discussed how to make searching the web in Europe fairer and safer:

Engineers have successfully tested an improved design of a quadrupole magnet manufactured at CERN, confirming that niobium–tin technology is viable for accelerator magnets: https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/hilumi-news-successful-test-paves-way-magnet-production-cern

The whopping number of collisions recorded by ALICE during the recent five-week heavy-ion run of the LHC is 40 times greater than the total recorded by the experiment in its previous periods of heavy-ion data taking, from 2010 to 2018: https://home.cern/news/news/experiments/alice-bags-about-twelve-billion-heavy-ion-collisions
