Advancements in microelectronics have been instrumental in the success of the LHC experiments while future energy and intensity frontier colliders pose certain challenges and call for further developments.
Continuous improvements to the CLOUD facility as well as to the instruments combined with the state of the art know-how available at CERN have enabled a steady increase in the measurement capabilities.
Last April, the detectors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) witnessed their first collisions of 2017 with the machine reaching an outstanding performance.

To meet the physics goals of the HL-LHC physics programme, ATLAS and CMS experiments have submitted proposals for timing detectors that will boost their physics reach.
RD53 collaboration has developed over the last five years the foundations for the extremely challenging pixel detector chips for the Phase-II pixel upgrades of ATLAS and CMS.
Science is by no means the entire picture, but to clip its wings with instantaneous utilitarianism means sacrificing some of what it means to be human.
