⚕️ After years of development in NZ 🇳🇿, @MARSBioimaging 3D colour X-ray scanner has arrived in Europe to start trials at @CHUVLausanne 🇨🇭 to get certified for medical use.
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the many partners in our Member and Associate Member States and beyond who are making the #CERNScienceGateway possible, in particular to our generous donors.”
Fabiola Gianotti, CERN Director-General
“We will do our best, not only in the construction & operation of the #CERNScienceGateway but also more widely to ensure that science maintains a place of integrity and trustworthiness, of international collaboration aiming for peace”
Ursula Bassler, President of the CERN Council
🛠 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. medipix.web.cern.ch
Do you like cold summer drinks? 🍹🏖
Today, we show you how to use supercool thermodynamics to create your own cryogenic system in your kitchen.
#Bubblechambers are able to produce fascinating visualisations of particle tracks, but are no longer used @CERN. Therefore, why not get creative & share your homemade #bubblechamber#kitchenart
What is a period of restlessness for many of us can be turned into a time of reflection and learning from the safety of our homes. What better way to do that than with a healthy diet of physics-themed videos? 1/n #StayAtHome
Let's start with John Ellis. We thought it's time to finally figure out what the Higgs boson is... 2/n #StayAtHome
Watch the unlikely story of our most venerable accelerator, from the mouth of our most venerable coworkers ⤵️
The #CERNOpenDays have officially started! CERN’s Director-General Fabiola Gianotti opened the Laboratory’s doors at a ceremony attended by representatives of the local authorities.
