Find out about the Axion Solar Telescope (CAST), which searches for candidate particles for dark matter and dark energy from the Sun. The telescope is made from a prototype of a magnet for the LHC, and tracks the Sun for 100 minutes in the morning.

Find out about the new modular data centre that's being built for the upgraded LHCb detector. This facility will house the detector's readout system, which is connected to front-end electronics in the underground cavern via 19 000 optical fibres, and the 2000 or so servers of the "high-level trigger" farm that processes and filters the data coming out of the detector. The data centre uses an indirect free air-cooling system, which has an electric power consumption corresponding to less than 10% of the electric power needed to operate the IT equipment.
