I was surprised to see in recent years quite a lot of applications of neutrinos in imagery. E.g. in geology, to visualize the inside of monuments (e.g. pyramids) without opening them, etc.

Muon detectors are also application of particle physics. I will not be surprised if we’ll see more exotic particles being used, maybe in some areas of manufacturing, as a convenient carrier of certain energy. Particle colliders are the way to develop accessible technology for that purpose.
