Exploring Fundamental Laws of the Universe: CEA's Cutting-Edge Research Initiatives

Irfu, the largest institute of CEA, delves into the fundamental laws of the universe through advanced research in particle physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. Collaborating with international institutions, CEA focuses on unraveling mysteries like the origins of particles and nuclei while inventing new devices for manipulating and detecting matter. Their work not only enhances our understanding of the cosmos but also has real-world applications in energy, technology, and societal advancements.
