Symphony created from Large Hadron Collider measurements
As the Large Hadron Collider fires up again after a two-year gap, Anglia Ruskin University scientist Domenico Vicinanza celebrated by composing a piece of music based on the LHC's most famous achievement: the discovery of the Higgs Boson.
He spoke to Chris Smith about how this "data sonification" could change the face of scientific analysis.
"Data sonification is about making measurements into something audible," Vicinanza said.
"It is a really general technique and we could use it to represent whatever we like.
"I was recently involved in research involving data sonification to help doctors discriminate between healthy and potentially unhealthy cells in cancer. We are actually using sound to help discriminate between healthy and unhealthy situations."
