| CERN-developed radiation monitor arrives at International Space Station |
The Axiom Mission 4, carrying the CERN-developed SpaceRadMon-NG and CERN/European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, successfully arrived at the International Space Station (ISS).
CERN provided Polish company SigmaLabs with the SpaceRadmon-NG in 2024. This is a next-generation miniaturised version of the Large Hadron Collider's well-proven radiation monitoring device.
The company adapted the technology to design its own scalable radiation monitor, a device that can analyse radiation levels and help researchers to better understand their effects upon humans in space.
The mission is another example of CERN’s links to Axiom Space, who were among 10 companies that used CERN irradiation facilities last November to test electronics for use in space as part of the EU-funded HEARTS project.

| Applications for beamtime at CERN to test and qualify electronics for use in space are now open! |
| The HEARTS project is now accepting requests from companies or institutions for commercial, proprietary beamtime access for a pilot run taking place from 19 November to 7 December.
The HEARTS@CERN facility offers a very-high energy heavy ion beam. Users can get up to 150 hours of beamtime at a favourable rate. Among last year's users were Airbus, Axiom Space, Mynaric, TESAT, and The Exploration Company.
Interested users can apply by 20 July.

| Pioneering quantum networking technology launched by White Rabbit Collaboration member, Nu Quantum |
Nu Quantum, member of the White Rabbit Collaboration and a UK-based market-led quantum networking solutions developer, has launched the world's first quantum networking unit. Designed for dynamic entanglement, it integrates the CERN-born White Rabbit technology for sub-nanosecond precision timing. The launch holds potential for scaling quantum computers and creating a so-called quantum data centre while showcasing how CERN-born open-source technologies can facilitate the implementation of next-generation quantum infrastructure.
CERN also participated at the inaugural Quantum Data Centre Alliance Forum, organised by Nu Quantum, where Archana Sharma, a CERN physicist, gave the opening talk. Sharma discussed how the Laboratory's model of large-scale international collaboration can inspire the quantum community to join forces across academia, industry, and government to tackle the technical and scaling challenges of building utility-scale quantum computing.

| The White Rabbit community synced up at CERN |
For more than a decade, the White Rabbit (WR) Workshops have been bringing together leading research institutes, companies, and universities to discuss the latest updates on the technology and explore new WR applications.
This year, CERN welcomed over 150 participants from America, Asia and Europe, with deep dives into how WR is being used. Born at CERN as a result of a joint effort with other research institutes and companies, the White Rabbit technology synchronises devices connected to an Ethernet network down to billionths of a second. The White Rabbit Collaboration, launched in 2024, aims to bring stakeholders of the technology together, identify common interests, and foster the uptake of White Rabbit in new domains. |

| CERN Venture Connect delivers tech prototype to deep-tech startup advancing pet health |
CERN Venture Connect (CVC) has handed over a CERN tech prototype to Animal Care Engineering, a CVC startup building the future of pet health monitoring.
Alongside FONGIT, a foundation supporting entrepreneurs and a CVC partner, the Animal Care Engineering team collected a prototype of the Accurate 2A technology, primarily deployed at CERN as a front-end sensor interface in ionisation chambers for radiation monitoring. Thanks to CVC, they will be able to deliver an innovative, high quality product much faster while connecting with CERN experts and a vast partner network. |
