This is what science looked like in 1969. And yes, that’s a laser.
Hey Clear Scientists, have a blast this weekend. Around the Clear Science labs we’re putting on our skinny ties and blasting everything in sight.
Back in the days of our Cosmotron accelerator, control rooms were full of analog knobs and buttons, and the scientists wore pants up at their actual waists. In 1952, the hard-core researchers above were inventing new technologies to replicate energetic cosmic rays.
Nowadays, our Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider carries that torch, but it’s operated in a lean, flat-screened control room. There may not be oscilloscope panels or a 1950s microphone, but groundbreaking data and high-precision measurements play out across each of those screens as RHIC smashes particles. Our NASA Space Radiation Laboratory uses that same control room to prepare particle beams that simulate the impacts of deep space travel on biology and materials.
The Clear Science IT team is working on the servers today, in anticipation of hopefully getting some more followers soon. Have a good weekend, scientists!

Hope you enjoyed talking about energy. The Clear Science staff is putting all its energy into this experiment. Have a good weekend, everyone!
