It was held today at National Laboratory of Frascati an event addressed to students in their 4th or 5th year of high school, devoted to the theme of women in science, waiting for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science of the next 11th of February.

LINACS (linear accelerators) are metallic structures powered by radio-frequency systems that allow to accelerate particle beams. They can be used in several fields of both research and industry such as injectors for light sources or colliders, free electron lasers-FELs, particle sources for experiments on fixed target, X-ray sources for radiotherapy or medical diagnostics, national security systems and material treatments.

It will start on Thursday, 8th of February, at National Laboratory of Frascati (LNF), a cycle of five seminars aiming at illustrating the main innovations in the field of Technology Transfer and designed as valuable opportunities for dialogue and exchange among the world of research, companies and society.

From the 12th to the 16th of February it took place at LNF the INternational School on modern PhYsics and REsearch – INSPYRE, this year with the participation of 39 schools for a total of 89 applicants, 40 from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Portugal, Slovakia and UK, as well as 49 students from all over Italy. 

The call for the 9th edition of the International School of Science Journalism of Erice (Eissj) opens today: 35 scholarships will be awarded to future journalists and science communicators, 30 for candidates from the European Union, 5 for applicants from the rest of the world.

The relevant years of experience acquired by National Laboratory of Frascati in the dissemination field – especially in training activities for students and teachers – gave birth to a new instrument of scientific culture diffusion: the e-learning platform AccendiScienza.

The modulation of light plays a key role in modern data-transfer technologies.

The ALICE ITS (Inner Tracker System), with a total of 12,500 megapixels and an exstention of 10 square metres, can be considered the world largest “digital camera”.

Advanced linear-accelerator (linac) technology developed in various European Labs will be used to provide a new generation of compact machines, to be used in X-ray free-electron lasers and in other applications, such as in medical linacs.

The 2017 Science Afternoons – an initiative addressed to teachers, students and general public – will conclude with a distinctive event, halfway between Philosophy and Physics, that will be held on the 4th of December at LNF.
