GENEVA — Scientists moved Saturday to prepare the world's largest atom smasher for exploring the depths of matter after successfully restarting the $10 billion machine following more than a year of repairs. The nuclear physicists working on the Large Hadron Collider were surprised that they could so quickly get beams of protons whizzing near the speed of light during the restart late Friday,...

I used to think that nothing would happen with the Large Hadron Collider . I even made fun of the nutters saying it's going to destroy the world . After reading CERN Director for Accelerators's latest statement, I'm not so sure: The LHC is a far better understood machine than it was a year ago. We've learned from our experience, and engineered the technology… Continue reading

The Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland has been turned on again after the 14 month break for repairs, so this may be my last post before we are all sucked into the Space/Time vortex. Imagine when they had to call out the repair man? (sucks intake of air through teeth) "You are looking at at least £3 million for parts and labour squire and I can't even look at it for 6 months. You...

Yesterday, the Large Hadron Collider once again had a beam of protons whizzing around its 27 km-long circumference! After a series of setbacks — some devastating, holding up the world’s largest scientific experiment for many months — this milestone achieved shows that the collider is heading back to full operations, which should get started again next [...]

Large Hadron Collider - The Time Is Now! CERN's $9 billion, 17-mile long atom smasher was just turned on and we're awaiting reports on how the tests have gone. The Large Hadron Collider did experience "small electrical problems" overnight. However, these were not expected to delay the first test firing at 9:30am CEST . As such, the clockwise and counter-clockwise firing of particles should already...
