CERN’s particle accelerator tech, once built to probe the universe’s secrets, now takes aim at cancer with Flash radiotherapy. Zapping tumors in under a second, this method spares healthy tissue by delivering a high-intensity dose that cancer cells can’t handle as well. 

Early mouse tests hint at fewer side effects, even with double rounds, pushing this toward human trials. The pivot could turn a physics titan into a medical game-changer, targeting tricky cancers with precision.
