Squarks, photinos, selectrons, neutralinos. These are just a few types of supersymmetric particles, a special brand of particle that may be created when the world's most powerful atom smasher goes online this spring. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

More about CERN and the LHC.

Lapsed scientist and satirist Chris Morris visited CERN and wrote this about it.

The audio portion at the bottom of the article is worth a listen too. picked by pocksucket 2 months ago

Mathematical physicists at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow believe that the vast experiment at CERN, the European particle physics centre near Geneva in Switzerland, may turn out to be the world's first time machine picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

Critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth?

Unlikely, but that story sure gets a lot of free press. picked by PulsisX 2 months ago

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), housed in an underground tunnel 27 kilometers (17 miles) in circumference, will recreate conditions just after the Big Bang on September 10. It will seek to collide two beams of particles at close to the speed of light. picked by AfroMosHi 2 weeks ago

The “large” in Large Hadron Collider is something of an understatement. “Enormous” is closer: The collider’s underground tunnel carves a circle 17 miles in circumference, traversing the border between Switzerland and France. At four locations it passes through caverns crammed with detectors the size of buildings... picked by DrNothing 1 year ago

The Large Hadron Collider at Cern has been described as a "£4.2 billion sledgehammer;" it will create conditions very close to those of the Big Bang. Tiny black holes are among the possible products. picked by sparky 2 years ago
