What’s inside a proton? A proton isn’t just a tiny dot, it’s a buzzing storm of quarks and gluons, held together by the strongest force in nature: the strong nuclear force!
🌀The more we look inside, the more complex it gets.

Before digital detectors, there was the bubble chamber and @fermilab.bsky.social had one of the largest ever built!
Filled with superheated liquid hydrogen, it revealed particle tracks as trails of tiny bubbles.
A photo could capture the invisible dance of particles for all to see!

Born in August 1901, Ernest Lawrence revolutionized science by inventing the cyclotron, the first compact particle accelerator. His breakthrough made modern high-energy physics possible and paved the way to CERN’s powerful machines

The Particle Therapy Masterclass introduces high school students to one of the most powerful applications of particle physics: cancer treatment.

They learn how accelerators are used in hospitals, analyze real patient treatment data (anonymized), and discuss with physicists and doctors.

IPPOG was at #EPSHEP2025 in #Marseille with a poster on the Masterclass for Non-Scientific CERN Staff, presented by @FabiolaCacciatore.
We were also thrilled to see IPPOG Forum member Kate Shaw take the plenary stage to talk about the power of #science communication and education.

💬 Ever wondered what the #IPPOG International Masterclasses are all about?
In this post, we’re answering some of the most common questions:
Who are they for? How long do they last? Do students really work with LHC data?
