Muon Spectrometer in the ATLAS detector on the LHC at CERN

This colorful 3D animation is an excerpt from the film "ATLAS-Episode II, The Particles Strike Back." Shot with a bug's eye view of the inside of the detector. The viewer is shown the design of the Muon Spectrometer, what happens when particles pass through it and what it measures.
Running time : 1min 17 sec

3D-Printable Quadrupole Ion Trap

Quadrupole ion traps can be used to trap electrically charged particles. At CERN, the GBAR experiment at the antimatter factory uses this particle trap to store anti-hydrogen-ions. Below you can find building instruction for 3D-printable quadrupole ion trap capable of trapping electrically charged "macroscopic particles" such as cinnamon of lycopodium spores. The trap uses an astable multivibrator circuit to illuminate the spores, using the stroboscopic effect to exhibit their movement.

The quantum prisoner

The Quantum Prisoner is a browser-based game created by the CEA with the sole purpose of making science fun and more accessible. The game is completely free with no registration required (unless you want to share your game between several devices), no ads. Le Prisonnier quantique est un jeu-vidéo d'aventure au cœur des sciences et des technologies. Dans la peau de Zoé, vous partirez aux 4 coins du monde sur les traces d'Artus Cropp, un physicien mystérieusement disparu dans les années 60, et de son formidable héritage : une découverte qui changera le monde...
