In 1932, the course of nuclear #physics took a new turn when an atom⚛️ was split for the 1st time using a particle accelerator. The discovery has helped scientists understand how to manipulate particles on a subatomic level to better understand the structure & function of matter.

Working towards #CancerCare4All in Djibouti: plans are well underway to build the first national cancer centre in Djibouti – a country that currently has no access to radiotherapy, a life-saving cancer treatment.
