Medipix: Two decades of turning technology into applications
The story of how detector components ended up in medical imaging, in art restoration and even in space. How could microchips developed for detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) be used beyond high-energy physics? This was a question that led to the Medipix and Timepix families of pixel-sensor chips. Researchers saw many possible applications…
