Prototype profile: Liquid Sample Dispensing System for β-NMR Studies in Vacuum
β-NMR has proven its capabilities and advantages in the world of nuclear spectroscopy: Not only does it open the door to high precision measurements of nuclear properties, but it also facilitates investigations of unstable, short-lived isotopes, otherwise inaccessible to conventional NMR. Additionally, β-NMR allows for real-time observations of chemical processes, such as biomolecular folding mechanisms.
Prototype profile: CLEAR-Robot (C-Robot)
The C-Robot is a robotic system that was designed and built by 3 members of the CLEAR team (CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research). It was first designed to easily irradiate samples for medical applications. The robot is made of 3 linear stages for X,Y and Z axis, 6 limit switches (2 for each axis), a 3D printed grabber, a mounted-camera system with a moving filter and two tanks (one storage tank and one tank placed in the electron beam).
Prototype profile: 3D-printed polystyrene-based plastic scintillator
The "3D printed Detector" (3DET) collaboration is investigating and developing additive manufacturing as a new production technique for the future scintillator particle detectors with performances comparable to the state of the art.
Prototype profile: ATLAS Phase II Screwholder
Prototyping makes up one of the key pillars of IdeaSquare. A recent prototype, started in March 2023, aims to make a screwholder for the ATLAS Phase II Upgrade on MDT detectors.

TERAPET — from CERN physics to cancer therapy
What happens when we apply fundamental science to real-world challenges?
Today, TERAPET is a Swiss medical technology start-up, but the idea did not start off in the business world. Two of the three founders had the idea when working on proton beam technology here at CERN.
