Positron Emission Tomography: Can crystals used in particle detectors save lives? / Bressan, Beatrice (Universita e INFN, Bologna (IT)) ; Foka, Yiota (GSI - Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbH (DE)) ; Bruant Gulejova, Barbora (Universitaet Bern (CH)) ; Hatzifotiadou, Despina (Universita e INFN, Bologna (IT))
The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is explained as a medical imaging technique widely used in hospitals to detect anomalies in the body of patients (like cancer tumors) on a daily basis. The article explains how PET works and how knowledge of basic physics processes is used to visualize the physiological processes in biological systems [...]

Muography - Invisible particles help to reveal invisible structures / Hatzifotiadou, Despina (Universita e INFN, Bologna (IT)) ; Mueller, Katharina (University of Zurich (CH)) ; Foka, Yiota (GSI - Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbH (DE))
Among the IPPOG Forum members, many experimentalists work with (or even developed) specialized muon detectors for the purposes of fundamental research. However, they find many direct applications for society spanning from scanning lories and controlling the spent nuclear fuel to power plants to exploring underground cavities [...]

Superconductivity – quantum mechanics at work / Mueller, Katharina (University of Zurich (CH)) ; Foka, Yiota (GSI - Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbH (DE))
Katharina Müller, the Swiss representative in IPPOG, brings super-conductivity to general public by emphasizing one of the most amazing applications: levitating trains like the maglev in Shanghai. She had the privilege to work on high temperature superconductivity at the University of Zurich at the time of the big breakthrough in 1986 with the discovery of high-temperature superconductors , for which the two scientists, K. [...]
