Just back from CERN installing the new addition to our family of instruments - a #muography monitor that enables long term monitoring of tunnel overburden/structures. Thanks to CERNs SCE dept and STFC Innovations for logistical/financial support. #muontomography - imaging with #muons

#onthisday in 1955 UK scientist E P George published a groundbreaking paper using #muons to image a tunnel's overburden. Now, 67 years later #muography is used to image pyramids, volcanos, railway tunnels, civil infrastructure, mines and much more. Happy #muontomography birthday!

Most visitors to Cornwall think of sun, sea and surf. Here at @Geoptic we think of tunnels! Working closely with Central Alliance we're using #muontomography to image railway tunnels and deliver vital information on tunnel overburden conditions to @NetworkRail. #muography

@Geoptic's UK grand tour continues: since 1st July we've imaged over 700 metres of railway tunnels in Cornwall, Devon and Wiltshire supported by our Central Alliance colleagues #muography: using #muons to provide critical infrastructure information to Network Rail #muontomography

Long nights in railway tunnels gives you an appreciation of the engineers who designed them. We're imaging St Anne's one of the great I.K. Brunel's tunnels. 2 giant stone nodules now displayed in #Bristol were discovered close by bit.ly/3c4KUsg #muography #muontomography

We're thrilled to be giving 2 talks at the @BTS_tunnelling conference - the UK’s largest tunnelling and underground space exhibition - where you will learn how #muography can image a multitude of objects from tunnels to nuclear repositories #muontomography bit.ly/BTSmuons

We're excited to be shortlisted for 2 awards at the New Civil Engineer TechFest NCE TechFest in London in November Our novel imaging work using #muontomography is shortlisted for the technology leader trailblazer and innovation incubation awards bit.ly/GeopticNCE #muography

We're all aware that #muography is a powerful tool so it's great to see it being recognised amongst civil engineers as @Geoptic is shortlisted for a 3rd award "Innovation in Instrumentation and Monitoring" at NCE's Tunnelling Festival @NCEdigital #NCETunnellingAwards #MuonTomography

We're looking forward to next week's BTS Society Conference and Exhibition where we're giving invited talks on the use of #muontomography in imaging tunnel infrastructure and nuclear waste repositories. Come and visit @Geoptic's stand at the QEII Centre. #muography.

We're excited to have arrived in #Glasgow where we'll be working with partners @NationalHighways The HRE Group and @BalfourBeatty using #muography to image structures on the UK's Historical Railways Estate #muontomography

As we bid a fond farewell to Glasgow for now it's good to see our #muography work with @NationalHighways highlighted in this press release tinyurl.com/GeopticNH and @NCEdigital article tinyurl.com/GeopticNCE #Muontomography - from Natural Radiation to Structural Information

Our first tests of MuPS - positioning with #muons have been successfully completed in a dense urban environment in collaboration with our partners from Muon Solutions. To learn more about this work, see tinyurl.com/MuonPS.

Another great example of the power of #muography to image inaccessible objects, this time incorporating SART to create a spectacular 3D image of a nuclear reactor: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #muontomography

Hat trick! Geoptic picked up its third national award in less than 4 months this evening when we were awarded the Emerging Technology Award at SPE's Offshore Achievement Awards Offshore Achievement in Aberdeen for applications of #muontomography
