🤝 UKNNL and @LynkeosTech have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to advance nuclear muography - groundbreaking imaging tech transforming nuclear waste monitoring.
This innovative technology uses cosmic ray muons to create 3D density images through heavy shielding, avoiding intrusive sampling & minimising contamination risk.
After 10 years of collaboration with @SellafieldLtd , we're cementing our commitment to delivering robust muon imaging capabilities for nuclear inspection.
A significant step forward in nuclear safety & monitoring tech.

We're oblivious to the tiny particles that surround us. Imagine if we could hear them? A musician and a UofG physicist have collaborated to make them audible 🎶

"I'm excited about how many people are going to experience it."
This project was in partnership with @LomondCampbell who built the instrument, and will take it on stage at the Edinburgh Fringe next month.
"I can't believe I get paid to do this kind of thing."
@UofGlasgow Dr David Mahon has used his research of how muons to help create the Muonophone, which creates music out of cosmic rays.
Been working with @DavidFMahon at the University of Glasgow on the Muonophone, which has grown into a show at the Edinburgh Festival called MŮO.
