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.

Experience in Superconductivity Practical Days at CERN

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.
