A scientist working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has compared the work his team are doing to going to the ends of the earth to chart new land.ĬERN, the facility which houses a the world's most powerful particle accelerator below the French-Swiss border, announced this weekend it had fired up its 27km long proton-beam cylinder in preparation for new experiments next month which could break new ground in how we understand the universe.Īfter a two-year upgrade following the discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012 - an elementary particle that fits with the standard model of particle physics - the LHC will now fire together protons travelling at almost the speed of light in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the very building blocks of the universe.
