CERN Accelerating science

Particle Post: Letters from the Universe

cosmic letterbox

Here is another project which highlights the discourse between art and science to inspire you to think - and feel - outside the box. Our long-term resident Umut Kose collaborated with three other artists, Yuri Tanaka, Pavle Dinulović, and Chris Bruckmayr on this sensory piece of art that is powered by the infinitely small.

School on Precision Oncology of ESI

School on Precision Oncology of ESI

Last week we welcomed 35 students from the School on Precision Oncology of ESI to introduce how CERN’s work can benefit #healthcare.
 
The students heard from @MarkusNordberg on how CERN IdeaSquare can help accelerate ideas through collaboration, R&D prototyping, and experimental innovation.
 



Innovation4Change - 7th edition

TERAPET — from CERN physics to cancer therapy

Terapet

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.
