Couldn't be without it! A CERN, ESA, ESO, EMBL, ESRF, ILL, EFDA joint project for the European Science and Technology Week 4-11 Nov 02
We have arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. (C. Sagan - A Demon Haunted World) Today's high quality of life relies on the use of several devices which make life safer, easier and more enjoyable. Few people in Europe know how these devices really work and even fewer understand their development from fundamental research.
