Experience in Superconductivity Practical Days at CERN

Hey everyone! Just got back from an incredible experience at CERN’s Superconductivity Practical Days, and let me tell you, it was mind-blowing! For those who don’t know, superconductivity is basically when a material turns into a superconductor – think zero electrical resistance and super strong magnetic fields. It’s what powers some pretty amazing things, from MRI machines to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s biggest and most powerful particle accelerator.

Visiting The PSI

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and explore their incredible Proton Therapy Center. PSI is a world leader in scientific research, and their proton therapy facility is at the forefront of cancer treatment. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which uses X-rays, proton therapy uses beams of protons – tiny charged particles – to target tumors with pinpoint accuracy. This minimizes damage to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor, leading to potentially fewer side effects for patients.

One of the most famous videos of Steve Jobs speaking at Stanford about his life, and his idea of connecting the dots just stuck in my mind. Inspired by his idea I did the same: To connect the dots of my life, and I came up with an idea that might be of interest and that is what I would like to share with you.
