"Accelerating science" is an exhibition produced by CERN which many different european cities host with the goal of disseminating the research areas covered by the organization. The main objective is to create awareness among citizens of the usefulness of this kind of research.

It is currently being held at Cosmocaixa Science Museum in Barcelona, where visitors can immerse into an audiovisual experience which explains the universe evolution since the Big Bang to nowadays.

Interactive media is available so that people get to know about CERN research on fundamental particles, the small bricks that form our universe. Visitors will tackle topics such as what is the nature of fundamental particles, which sizes they are, or how they are classified in families conforming what scientist call the Standard Model.

In the exhibition there is also a 3-D reproduction of a real particle detector. It allows visitors to see how particles get through the several layers of the detector and discover which processes occur during collisions.
