The Large Hadron Collider
Background for the public about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), "a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles -- the fundamental building blocks of all things." Read about reasons for LHC, how it works, experiments, safety, facts and figures, and more. From CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
