Adam Walton celebrates the 70th anniversary of CERN and talks to some of the scientist who work there.

Established in the aftermath of the Second World War, CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, has always aimed to foster peaceful scientific collaboration between nations, advancing the frontiers of human knowledge. Scientists at CERN are responsible for many scientific breakthroughs, including the creation of the World Wide Web, the Large Hadron Collider, and the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle. It鈥檚 fair to say that this Switzerland-based organisation has revolutionised the field of physics and continues to push the boundaries of scientific exploration.

Joining us directly from CERN is Dr Pippa Wells, the first female physicist to be hired at CERN in the mid 90鈥檚, who describes her leadership of the ATLAS experiment.

We hear from Lyn Evans who studied at Swansea University and was project leader of the years-long design and development of the Large Hadron Collider.

Experimental Physicist, Professor Niels Madsen, tells us all about anti-hydrogen.

Plus, we talk to Dr Rhodri Jones, Head of the Beams Department at CERN.
