María José García Borge, Scientific Director of CERN’s ISOLDE experiment, presents the main challenges of nuclear physics and explains how the study of the atomic nucleus helps deepen our understanding of the structure of matter and the formation of the elements in the universe.
The conference explores the different combinations of protons and neutrons that form nuclear species and the fundamental interactions that determine their behaviour. García Borge also highlights the applications of this knowledge in areas such as energy generation, semiconductors, anthropology and, in particular, medical technologies for diagnosis and treatment.

To mark the 60th anniversary of CERN, the BBVA Foundation and CERN jointly organise the lecture series “The Secrets of Particles: Fundamental Physics in Everyday Life”. The series aims to bring the benefits of science closer to society, present the current and future challenges of particle physics and showcase the technologies developed at major scientific facilities such as CERN, as well as their impact on innovation and industrial returns.
