Globe : September- December 2007 Programme
Come and take a plunge into the world of the infinitesimally small to find out all about nanotechnologies, their numerous applications and the ethical concerns they raise.
An exhibition jointly organised by the CCSTI Centres of Grenoble and Bordeaux and the Paris Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie.
At October’s Discovery Monday, in parallel with the "Nanotechnologies" exhibition, we invite you to come and be amazed by our questions of scale. From the infinitely large Universe to the infinitesimally small elementary particle, see how you measure up to the scales of physics.
Lecture series:
The LHC: an accelerator of science
This series of lectures is all about understanding the scientific and technological challenges of the phenomenal LHC project and assessing its innovations through their everyday applications. Come and take a sneak preview of the LHC!
Philippe Charpentier, CERN physicist
The LHC will produce showers of new particles when the collisions of proton beams are produced. In order to identify them, the physicists will track down their properties using four huge detectors: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb.
Mini-Einstein: physics for tots
CERN is offering a series of workshops designed to teach the ABC of physics to the very young. Games and hands-on activities based on notions such as weight and waves will stimulate the children’s curiosity and initiate them into the world of science.
Workshops for accompanied 4-to-6-year-olds. Free of charge, please book on +41 (0)22 767 76 76
Every Saturday at 3.00 p.m. for the duration of the exhibition. Duration 1hr30.
Come discover the mysteries of physics by learning how a television works and what are the various states of matter and by tasting a liquid nitrogen ice-cream.
