LinkedIn Newsletter: Time to create impact with TIMEPIX@school
“I used the Minipix detector two years ago in a physics project in which I studied the relation between the absorption of alpha radiation and the pressure of the chamber. This helped me a lot to decide what I wanted to study because it made me realise how real physics works and how a real…

Meet the users: Ramon & Claudia
Meet the users: Ramon & Claudia TIMEPIX@school brings particle detector kits developed from CERN technology to students – enabling them to explore the invisible world of radiation. It provides a unique opportunity for students to conduct hands-on experiments in the classroom with the same detectors currently used at CERN, in space, in hospitals and in…

Meet the project: TIMEPIX@school
TIMEPIX@school is a pioneering initiative which brings CERN technology into schools, giving students the opportunity to explore the invisible world of radiation and cosmic rays using equipment derived from real CERN research. The project is built around the Timepix detector chip – a device originally developed through the Medipix Collaborations at CERN. The detector can…

Innovation: how to Make It Matter
By supporting this special campaign, you help carry innovations building on CERN’s legacy into classrooms, hospitals, and communities. Together, we can make science matter where it’s needed most. Barbara Solich, CERN & Society Foundation Head Technology never stands still – and neither does innovation. At the CERN & Society Foundation, Innovation and Knowledge Exchange is one of our…

CERN detector could help to improve head tumour radiotherapy
Scientists are testing a new device to help target cancer cells more accurately in ion radiotherapy of head and neck tumours, which could help limit the treatment’s side effects. It includes Timepix3, a small particle detector developed at CERN Particle detectors like the ones used by physicists at CERN can have wide applications beyond fundamental…
