      Their purpose is studying nuclear physics, in particular subatomic particles.

      Building AI models to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease is, well, not that thing.

        It’s in the opening paragraph. They apply it to make radiation machines more precise and smaller. This is kinda their wheelhouse.

        Edit: this also shows the importance of research. You never know where it might also be applicable.

        CERN is so huge they do a lot of non-core research so that they improve their tooling, academic processes etc. This is how we got World Wide Web for example.
