🛠 Did you ever want to make your own particle detector?
Here is your chance! Build this low-cost open hardware project, investigate natural radioactivity around you and become a true citizen scientist: scoollab.web.cern.ch/diy-particle-d…

#DidYouKnow that Silicon-based detectors similar to this one are widely used in high-energy physics experiments?
The #Medipix collaboration makes the technology behind silicon pixel detectors available for applied physics domains such as medical imaging.

Do you like cold summer drinks? 🍹🏖
Today, we show you how to use supercool thermodynamics to create your own cryogenic system in your kitchen.

🛀 To educators: you can find more information about this cooling bath experiment on the CERN #SCoolLAB website scoollab.web.cern.ch/states-of-matt…

#DidYouKnow that cooling is also essential for running the LHC?
However, we don't recommend a superfluid helium cooling bath for your summer drinks... 🤯 home.cern/science/engine…
