CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has inaugurated its brand-new museum and visitor center in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland.
Designed by acclaimed Italian architect Renzo Piano, the building’s architectural centerpiece is a pair of walk-through tubes connected via a glass flyover that has been designed to recall the Large Hadron Collider. Piano has described the building as “a spaceship about to land”.
The museum features interactive exhibits that bring the complex world of particle physics to life, appealing to individuals of all ages. Of particular note is a massive replica of a particle accelerator, a testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress.
Knowledgeable guides, well-versed in the intricacies of particle physics, will be on hand to lead visitors on captivating journeys through the cosmos, unraveling the secrets of the elusive Higgs boson along the way. The new center is expected to host up to 500,000 visitors a year from around the world.
The new Apple Watch lineup launched in September heralds the brand’s first-ever carbon neutral product range. Design and clean energy innovations have triggered a remarkable 75 percent reduction in emissions for each carbon-neutral Apple Watch, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
These watches mark a significant leap toward Apple’s audacious Apple 2030 climate goals, aiming to make every product, from production to use, completely carbon neutral.
As part of its broader environmental initiatives, Apple has eliminated leather use across all product lines, introduced entirely fiber-based packaging for new watches and continued to integrate recycled materials into iPhones. It also introduced Grid Forecast, a Home app tool that empowers users to choose cleaner energy sources for their devices.
Apple’s approach to decarbonization centers on electricity, materials and transportation and includes the use of 100 percent clean electricity for manufacturing and product use, the incorporation of 30 percent recycled or renewable materials and an overall goal of 50 percent of shipping done by transportation other than air.
Apple plans to cover residual emissions with high-quality carbon credits from nature-based projects and is actively involved in projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere.
