Our new @nikhef.bsky.social entrance is enriched last week with a spectacular artwork, 'Improbable super event' by Jop Vissers Vorstenbosch.
These are eight transparent paintings of particle tracks from the ALICE experiment at @cern.bsky.social and visualizations of two colliding black holes
The day after the unveiling of Jop Vissers Vorstenbosch's artwork in the entrance hall of @nikhef.bsky.social (National Institute for Subatomic Physics), Jop is still 'present' on video 😊

Check out this unique optical table, the so-called 'In-vacuum Seismic Isolation Optical Table' at @nikhef.bsky.social
The platform is kept quiet by Active Noise Cancellation which can break through the wall of noise in which gravitational wave signals are buried @vuamsterdam.bsky.social
The third floor houses the @nikhef.bsky.social theory group 👨🎓 , as can be seen from what is written on the three chalkboards

On June 17th, 2025 @nikhef.bsky.social celebrated its 50th anniversary 🥳
Since 2016 Nikhef has been working on the @cern.bsky.social ATLAS Upgrade Inner Tracker (ITk) Strip End-cap. Two super rigid CF structures are assembled with a precise gluing jig in the Nikhef clean-room.
This week on June 17th @nikhef.bsky.social celebrated its 50th anniversary 🥳
Since 2015, Nikhef worked on the Upgrade of the @cern.bsky.social ALICE Outer Barrel (OB) Inner Tracking System (ITS). The ITS Module has 14 pixel chips which measures each 30x15mm with a thickness of only about 0.25mm
@nikhef.bsky.social 50 was a very successful party yesterday!
