“Who knew giving a ton of money to #CERN would lead to the #WWW? Who knew a Dutch free #OS (#minix) would incentivise a Finnish gradute student to write #Linux (the OS platform on most the cloud, half the smart phones out there)? Who knew that some small TV company (the #BBC) request for a simple low cost computer would lead to the founding of #ARM (that has more chips in the world than Intel or anyone else - again in your mobile device)?” 💯

Plötzlich sichtbar: Neues Teilchen stellt alte Überzeugungen infrage
"
"Forschende der Universität Hamburg und des DESY haben Hinweise auf das schwer fassbare Toponium gefunden. Mit dieser Entdeckung könnte die grundlegende Struktur aller Materie noch detaillierter entschlüsselt werden."

🚀 CERN’s antimatter breakthrough is blurring the line between science and science fiction.

What if antimatter mobility isn’t just a concept—but a step toward real change in how we move, survive, and imagine the future?

As pollution surges and critical discoveries face suppression, we must explore bold scientific paths forward.

This is my "two part cable clamp" which will get installed on the #CMS detector at #CERN.
It is part of the DT (drift tube) system that detects muons. The cable in the picture supplies power to the read out electronics.

The clamp bottom part has M5 threads and is pre installed. The installation of the cable only requires a driver for the M5 flange nut. Its quick and easy.
The design is parametric to allow different cable diameters.
