Short for Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nuclaire, CERN is a laboratory established on September 29, 1954, and today is the world's largest particle physics laboratory. In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee, working with Robert Cailliau at CERN, proposed a hypertext system, which was the start of the Internet as we know it today. In 1993, CERN released the Web to public that helped bring the web to the masses.
