El Gran Colisionador de Hadrones (LHC) entra oficialmente en una nueva fase. Hoy se ha celebrado una ceremonia en el laboratorio europeo de física de partículas (CERN) que marca el inicio del trabajo de ingeniería civil para el LHC de Alta Luminosidad (HL-LHC, por sus siglas en inglés): un nuevo hito en la historia del CERN. Al incrementar el número de colisiones en los grandes experimentos, esta gran actualización mejorará el rendimiento del LHC a partir de 2026, aumentando la probabilidad de descubrir nuevos fenómenos de la Física. Parte de los nuevos sensores que se instalarán en el detector de trazas de ATLAS se fabricaran en el Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC).

Imaginenano is the largest European Event in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology and in this current edition IMB-CNM has participated with a booth to promote the clean room facilities and the Nanoscience Foundries & Fine Analysis EU Platform (NFFA). Moreover during the Industrial forum IMB-CNM has contributed with two talks ”The National Microelectronics Center and its Clean Room for Micro and Nano Research” carried out by Lluis Fonseca and “FIB Processing using ELPHY “ by Albert Guerrero.
