Answer 1

CERN is the largest physics laboratory in the world, operated jointly by 23 member nations. They do a lot of work in high energy physics, especially the kind of physics that can be done with their Large Hadron Collider (also the largest in the world). It is a center of innovation and science leadership and has been since it was created in 1954.
