A baby boy was born outside the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) last month, the organisation has reported.
The baby’s parents were driving to hospital when they realised medical assistance would be required sooner rather than later.
So they pulled over outside the world’s largest physics laboratory.
Cern is famously home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an enormously powerful atomic particle accelerator.
The LHC is exploring some of the fundamental questions in “big physics” by colliding proton particles together in a huge underground facility – and staff were equally equipped to handle the more traditional processes associated with child-birth.
“Our medical service and ambulance personnel proved to be entirely up to the task,” said Cern in its web bulletin.
