There are so many interesting old science machines on our campus in #hamburg. So this time I check out the #DESY bubble chamber!
In 1966, scientists in Hamburg created antiprotons out of light for the first time ⚡ and measured them with this cool old gear. #particlephysics #wissenschaft #physics #scicomm
@freyablekman That is super cool!
@hoco agree!!! I walk by all these Historic tech so often that it’s easy to forget. But as there are so many I intend to make more of these. Just in the field where this bubble chamber is standing there are three more historic objects 🤓
So more soon!
@freyablekman When I was in high school I was a volunteer at NASA, Ames Research Center. Walking around was amazing: the grounds were full of artifacts from the space program. Full-size rockets, satellites and airplanes from throughout NASA's history. I walked through it each day for a couple months in the summer of '79.
