Third Collisions Panel: Beyond the Collider: CERN Alumni Soaring in Aviation and Space

Published on February 8, 2024

As the Third Collisions panel approaches, two outstanding CERN alumni—Hannah Rana and Thomas Rognmo —are set to share their insights on sustainable aviation.

Hannah, a Schmidt Science Fellow at Harvard, holds a Ph.D. in Astrophysics Instrumentation from Oxford. Her extensive career includes artificial retina development and contributions to the Event Horizon Explorer project, demonstrating a dedication to advancing space exploration.

Thomas, as the Engineering Manager at Nordic Electrofuel, leads efforts to decarbonise aviation through sustainable fuel production. His background in engineering and management aligns with Nordic Electrofuel's mission to create carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.

As the Third Collisions panel approaches, the diverse backgrounds and expertise of Hannah and Thomas promise an engaging and enlightening discussion on the future of aviation and aerospace.

Breakthrough in rapid cooling for BASE antiprotons

February 8, 2024
To study antimatter particles, experiments must cool them to the lowest possible temperatures. The BASE experiment has just reached a new milestone in this regard. In an article published by the journal Physical Review Letters, the collaboration presents a new device that reduces the time required to cool an antiproton from 15 hours to just 8 minutes. This considerable improvement makes it possibl

Chamonix : engranger les succès, et préparer l’avenir
