A Through-The-Lens Look at the World’s Particle Physics Labs
Introduction
Last summer, a wedding photographer walked begrudgingly into a physics laboratory outside Rome. Feeling uninspired by the intricate machinery around him, he decided to turn off the lights. “I wanted to create a world that was a bit more intimate,” said the photographer, Marco Donghia.
He had been brought into the lab to part...
The Global Physics Photowalk contest showcases the intersection of art and science, as participants sought to capture the beauty in the invisible world of force fields and subatomic particles. By winning this competition, Marco Donghia's image not only highlighted the relationship between humans and technology but also served as a powerful visual representation of the ongoing research conducted by particle physics laboratories worldwide.
The process of considering both visual aesthetics and scie...
