Technology Transfer at CERN
  • At CERN, physicists build large machines to study
    high energy particles.
  • Sometimes the machines they make can be used by
    people in different ways.

3
Some examples of TT
  • The WWW was invented by physicists at CERN to
    communicate with one another from all over the
    world about projects at CERN
  •  
  • But people use the WWW to gather information
    about many things and also to communicate with
    one another.

4
Another TT example
  • Detectors and accelerators were used at CERN to
    study the properties of colliding high-speed
    particles.
  • But hospitals can use detectors and accelerators
    to see inside of people in order to diagnose
    illnesses, and also to treat illnesses by killing
    tumors inside of people without surgery.

Activity
  • Each TT item can be put onto 2 cards. One card
    has physics research and development
    applications, and the other card has applications
    to the public. Students have to match up the 2
    cards i.e., match up the technology with its
    application.
  • To make this game easier, each card could be
    coded with the acronym of the TT on the back
    side. Then the task would be to see if the
    student can decide which is the physics R D
    card and which is the TT card. Or, it could just
    be a case of matching by making a pair of cards,
    such as a pair of CRYSTAL CLEAR cards. The R D
    card could have a little picture of the device
    and the TT card could have a picture of the
    application.
