Particle physics laboratory CERN has inaugurated a data center in Prévessin, France. The facility, deployed at CERN's existing site, spans 6,000 square meters (64,600 sq ft) across six rooms. Each ...

For more than half a century, scientists at the CERN particle physics laboratory (more formally, the European Organization for Nuclear Research) have been probing the inner workings of the universe.

CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, has placed an order for ten data center modules to handle a major flood of data that will be produced by upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - ...

The grid that will process data from the Large Hadron Collider has undergone stress testing, with Cern and other organisations trying to gauge its limits. The tests, called Scale Testing for the ...

GENEVA--The CERN Computer Center is the number-crunching hub that powers the physics research lab's quest to discover the nature of the universe. About half of these cores will be used to deal with ...

Anyone can access collision data from the Large Hadron Collider through the new CERN Open Data Portal. Today CERN launched its Open Data Portal, which makes data from real collision events produced by ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the scientific community’s most impressive tools. By firing particles at each other in a 17-mile-long device, scientists have unlocked all sorts of secrets of ...

CERN is restarting its Large Hadron Collider (after a two-year massive upgrade) to start working on amazing experiments to reveal the identity of “dark matter” and to search for tiny black holes that ...

Cancel your plans for this weekend! CERN just dropped 300 terabytes of hot collider data on the world and you know you want to take a look. Kati Lassila-Perini, a physicist who works on the Compact ...

Since restarting in June after a two-year upgrade, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been recording about 3GB of data per second, or about 25 petabytes — that’s 25 million gigabytes — of data per ...
