Future Mobility
CERN is a large and incredibly complex infrastructure, requiring the efficient operation and control of huge amounts of data, devices and systems – many of which rely on technologies relevant to mobility. CERN’s knowhow related to ultrafast machine learning has already resulted in interest from the mobility industry. In addition, many modes of transportation see a shift towards electrification. In the future, even airplanes and large ships might benefit from electric motors. These ambitions can possibly benefit from the CERN knowhow related the use of superconductive materials and components, because of the associated low energy losses.

Energy
CERN’s accelerator technologies can contribute to improved structural monitoring, and are relevant for energy resource management in infrastructures and networks, from beginning to end of life. For example, CERN has developed powerlines, capable of transporting huge amount of electricity in a cable that is cooled at cryogenic temperatures. Also, CERN has developed tools and advanced modelling software to help manage radioactive materials and waste, which may be useful in nuclear energy applications.

Environmental monitoring
CERN’s particle detectors contain some of the most powerful imaging tools in the world. Around the CERN accelerator complex, unique devices precisely monitor and control the operational environment. For example, CERN has developed a technology to monitor radon gas, and also some of its software tools have found its way into applications to connect sensors to monitor air quality.
