Accelerator technologies at #CERN70 #DidYouKnow that particle accelerators have applications beyond #physics? In 2023, CERN joined HEARTS, a Horizon Europe project, which aims to provide access to high-radiation testing facilities to partners in academia and industry for applications in space missions and radiobiology. Join us this Thursday 18 April, 19:30 CEST, at CERN Science Gateway to learn how the technology behind particle accelerators extends far beyond research laboratories to industries

Make the most of the sunny days and set out to discover a giant of science, the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. The LHC is the world’s largest particle accelerator. Its 27 km ring is situated a hundred metres below the Franco-Genevan countryside. Find out more: https://home.cern/news/news/knowledge-sharing/fancy-cycling-around-particle-accelerator | CERN
