In particle accelerators, beams of particles are focused and fired forward at almost the speed of light. But how are those particles controlled? Suzie Sheehy explains. | Royal Institution of Great Britain

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
