I’m confused, what’s the topic?
Their purpose is studying nuclear physics, in particular subatomic particles.
Building AI models to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease is, well, not that thing.
It's in the opening paragraph. They apply it to make radiation machines more precise and smaller. This is kinda their wheelhouse.
Edit: this also shows the importance of research. You never know where it might also be applicable.
I have since been informed that AI is, indeed, physics.
Builldng the frigging world wide web is not tha thing either but nobody's complaining.
CERN is awesome both when doing nuclear research or when they create actual awesome other content
CERN is so huge they do a lot of non-core research so that they improve their tooling, academic processes etc. This is how we got World Wide Web for example.
