FROM CERN
CERN Launches the Grand Prix Resonance - a special edition of its annual Resonance residency programme. The initiative invites Geneva-based artists and artist collectives to submit proposals exploring the intersection of art, science and technology: https://home.cern/cern-launches-the-grand-prix-resonance-a-special-edition-of-the-annual-resonance-residency-programme/
The SPS Turns 50 - CERN is celebrating 50 years of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), its second-largest accelerator. Since its start-up in 1976, the SPS has played a central role in discoveries, innovation and pioneering experiments, helping shape the history of particle physics: https://home.cern/the-sps-turns-50/
Beam Tests Boost FCC Detector Technologies - Teams from around the world have tested advanced detector technologies for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), helping researchers evaluate and develop the technologies that could be used in a future particle collider. The tests took place before CERN’s accelerator complex paused for major upgrades: https://home.cern/beam-tests-boost-progress-on-detector-technologies-for-the-future-circular-collider/
