An excellent example of an arts/science collaboration 👏 This unique instrument has introduced David Mahon's muon research to new audiences, by asking them to think about the radiation that surrounds us. We can't wait to see where the 'Muonophone' ends up next!

University of Glasgow @uofglasgow.bsky.social · Sep 4

We're oblivious to the tiny particles that surround us. Imagine if we could hear them? A musician & a UofG physicist have collaborated to make them audible 🎶
