Researchers from ISOLDE used our facilities to make many different things. Using the water jet cutter we were able to quickly and cheaply create non-magnetic brass tools for their highly magnetic equipment.
During 3 days in November 2021, IdeaSquare was able to provide 3D printers and access to the machine shop to members of CLEAR (CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research) for a prototyping project under the skillful supervision of Oscar Lilleløkken, workshop supervisor.
From the kickoff on the 2nd of June until the final demo day on the 22nd of July, 20 students from the University of Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, and Erasmus University of Rotterdam, have been working on challenges using ATTRACT Technologies in new ways. By using Design Thinking they have been gathering information about different user needs and how to meet those needs with their chosen ATTRACT technology.
In October 2021, IdeaSquare hosted Design the Future, an educational programme developed in-house by Pablo Trello.
IdeaSquare is a close and natural partner of CERN’s Knowledge Transfer Group (KT), whose mandate it is to maximise the impact of CERN’s technologies on society.
The most recent generation of RPCs is aimed at the High Luminosity LHC upgrade of ATLAS and CMS, allowing the detectors to use low global warming potential gases.
The IdeaSquare dark room was designed and prepared by Umut Kose and team in 2014 to test and calibrate 400 ICARUS Photo Multipliers for the Neutrino Platform
ATTRACT phase 2 will include three open calls to support the ATTRACT ecosystem
New results from the LHCb experiment on CP asymmetry in charmless three-body charged B meson decays include the largest CP asymmetry ever observed
The seventh edition of Innovation 4 Change kicks off: young talents try their hand at solving challenges inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through a process that involves the fusion of entrepreneurship, technology and storytelling.
