It is still great to see updates like this!

Truly enjoyed working at CERN.

Here we see a klystron, an electronic component used to amplify high-frequency radio waves by a factor of up to a million. In particle colliders, they can be used to power radiofrequency cavities and thus play a key role in accelerating particles.

CERN launched the High-Efficiency Klystron (HEK) project ten years ago, aiming to make the accelerators of tomorrow more sustainable and efficient.

High-efficiency klystrons developed for the High-Luminosity LHC are now outperforming industrial klystrons by 10% in terms of efficiency. #HiLumiLHC

#DidYouKnow that cooling is also essential for running the LHC?
However, we don't recommend a superfluid helium cooling bath for your summer drinks... 🤯 https://t.co/ReRI3CD1Fg

#DidYouKnow that Silicon-based detectors similar to this one are widely used in high-energy physics experiments?
The #Medipix collaboration makes the technology behind silicon pixel detectors available for applied physics domains such as medical imaging.
