Innovations from Thuringia – Silicon-based radiation detectors in search of dark matter
After the discovery of the Higgs elementary particle in 2012, CERN researchers are snatching more secrets from space. With radiation detectors from the CiS Research Institute, new clues have been discovered in the search for dark matter. Scientists and engineers at CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik und Photovoltaik GmbH work in Erfurt on highly specialized silicon detectors for the international nuclear research elite at CERN (Geneva)
