Rolex supports major, new permanent exhibition at CERN in Switzerland. CERN, in Switzerland, the leading centre for research into fundamental physics using a particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider, has just inaugurated a new, permanent exhibition, ''Universe of Particles'', sponsored by Rolex. The exhibition is spread over a space of 450-square metres in the spectacular Globe of Science and Innovation at CERN. A sphere 40 metres in diameter made entirely of wood, the Globe is the tallest timber-domed structure in the world. The ''Universe of Particles'' explores the fascinating universe of particles, from the infinitely tiny to the infinitely huge, from the Big Bang to the present day. Using state-of-the-art digital technology and interactive displays, the exhibition, open to visitors of all ages free of charge, is designed by the award-winning German designers, Atelier Bruckner. Among their numerous projects is the permanent exhibition at the BMW Museum in Munich, IBM China's Magic Box at Expo S
hanghai 2010 and the Wall of Africa at Expo 08 Zaragoza.''It's vital for us to reach out to society and explain our research aims and the associated spinoffs,'' said CERN director-general Rolf Heuer. ''This visitor centre, built with the generous support of Rolex, is an essential part of our outreach and education strategy.''
''At Rolex, we believe in the importance of supporting excellence in research and high-level creative endeavours,'' said Bruno Meier, CEO of Rolex SA. ''We are proud, as part of our corporate philanthropy, to play a part in supporting the extraordinary work of CERN and bringing it to a wider public both in Switzerland and around the world.'' Designed by Herve Dessimoz of Group H Architects in Geneva, and wood engineer Thomas Buchi of Charpente Concept, the Globe of Science and Innovation was the centrepiece of the Expo.02 Exhibition in Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 2002. With funding from the Swiss Confederation, it was reassembled at CERN to provide a new beacon for the organisation. 
The Globe has taken timber construction to a new level. The outer shell, re sembling a finely spun cocoon, is designed to protect the building from the sun and the elements. The inner ball, whose frame is made up of 18 cylindrical wooden arcs, covered with wooden panels, creates a magnificent cathedral-like space with two spiral ramps for visitors winding their way up between the outer and inner shells.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter the fundamental particles. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.

So CERN has benefit for students too much. And CERN has high-technology to research and study about science , so I think science is significant to improve and develop environment and economic to be better. And I like this news , because it is amazing and catchy.
I also think high-technology plays an important role in education, but how? I need you to probe more. I also think your personal thinking should be longer than your summary, not another way around. (1)
