The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland
Sep 9 2008 by Simon Hadley
The Large Hadron Collider, at European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), near Geneva, is attempting to create particles of the type which have not existed since the Big Bang. The LHC is trying to understand the atomic make-up of the Universe, how it all began and how it was made. Sparkbrook firm HydraPower and Birmingham University have been involved in its construction.
