From the creator

Explore how fundamental research is a driving force for innovation. As well as the World Wide Web, the most famous CERN technological innovation, CERN’s particle accelerators and detectors have many applications in everyday life. Electronic particle-detection techniques, for example, have revolutionized medical diagnosis. CERN collaborates with industry, giving it an expertise that can be applied to other areas. The technological innovations of the Laboratory thus spread rapidly to society, for the benefit of all. This film was made as part of CERN’s 60th anniversary celebrations.
