The 17-mile track underneath the French-Swiss Alps has seen more than...http://www.newser.com/story/74666/at-last-collider-gets-atoms-smashing.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagMon, 23 Nov 2009 19:09:30 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/74538/hadron-collider-restarts-briefly.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe Large Hadron Collider roared to life today for the first time since September 2008. "The first tests of injecting subatomic particles" took just a fraction of a second, a CERN rep said, but the circulation of the proton beams confirmed that the repairs instituted 9 days after the collider...http://www.newser.com/story/74538/hadron-collider-restarts-briefly.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 20 Nov 2009 18:06:51 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/73815/physicists-bird-from-the-future-damaged-collider.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagCERN’s Large Hadron Collider is having a tough time getting on its feet—construction delays, birds, etc.—but now two physicists have a novel theory about why: The experiment is so “abhorrent” to God, or nature, that the universe is conspiring to sabotage it. When scientists get close to revving...http://www.newser.com/story/73815/physicists-bird-from-the-future-damaged-collider.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagWed, 11 Nov 2009 16:50:33 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/73173/god-machine-warming-up-for-2nd-startup-in-dec.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe Large Hadron Collider is ready to start smashing particles together again, equipment, the laws of nature, and the Almighty permitting. The $9 billion particle accelerator has been fully repaired after a short circuit put it out of action for more than a year, and should be ready to roll...http://www.newser.com/story/73173/god-machine-warming-up-for-2nd-startup-in-dec.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 03 Nov 2009 9:14:56 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/71451/hadron-collider-physicist-admits-he-was-al-qaeda-mole.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA top-level nuclear physicist working on the Hadron Collider has admitted being an Al-Qaeda spy, French officials are reporting. Adlène Hicheur, 32, is expected to be charged today after investigators discovered he suggested targets to the terror organization, reports the Independent .

Police say they believe the 32-year-old and his brother contacted people linked to the terror group online, and they had been planning an attack in...http://www.newser.com/story/71355/nuclear-scientist-arrested-for-alleged-al-qaeda-ties.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagFri, 09 Oct 2009 14:07:30 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/66032/collider-may-be-back-online-by-late-fall-on-low.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagIt took 15 years and $9 billion to build, but since its massively hyped debut in September, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland hasn't collided any particles at all. Physicists in Europe are certain the 17-mile machine will eventually produce revolutionary science, on everything from dark matter to...http://www.newser.com/story/66032/collider-may-be-back-online-by-late-fall-on-low.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 04 Aug 2009 7:50:11 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/64950/hadron-collider-hits-new-snags.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe Large Hadron Collider has hit more delays, ZDNet reports, with experiments using the machine unlikely to restart until at least mid-November due to the discovery of two vacuum leaks. The agency overseeing the 17-mile atom-smasher buried under the French-Swiss border may take the unorthodox step of running its “Big...http://www.newser.com/story/64950/hadron-collider-hits-new-snags.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 21 Jul 2009 14:10:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/51003/rival-labs-fight-like-hell-to-find-god-particle.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe US-based Fermilab is gaining ground on Europe's CERN in the race to discover the Higgs boson, the elusive prize of particle physics, reports the BBC. While the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland remains out of order, Fermilab's facility in Chicago has been cranked up. At a recent conference, the...http://www.newser.com/story/51003/rival-labs-fight-like-hell-to-find-god-particle.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 17 Feb 2009 10:24:56 CST
