It sounds scary, and it is. Building the LHC in a tunnel was a prudent move. The particle beam could drill a hole in just about anything, although the most likely victim would be the apparatus itself.

The longer magnets will be installed in the LHC tunnel. In contrast, the shorter ones will be used in a test facility at CERN, called the inner-triplet (IT) string, where all the components of the ...

The start of the construction work was marked with a ceremony The LHC uses thousands of magnets to steer two beams of proton particles around a 27km-long circular tunnel located 100m underground.

The LHC is installed in a tunnel ranging from 50 to 150 metres underground. Particle detectors called Alice, Atlas, CMS and LHCb surround the points at which particles collide, measuring the ...

He's pinning his hopes on a major revamp of the Large Hadron Collider. It's the world's most advanced particle accelerator - a vast machine that smashes atoms together to break them apart and ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC ... involves accelerating proton beams to energies of 7 TeV in an underground tunnel with a circumference of 27 km and then analysing the debris produced ...

The world's most massive science experiment has done it again, detecting hints of the heaviest antimatter particle ever found. This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle ...

The LHC is a particle accelerator, which has been built deep underground in a 27 km tunnel under Switzerland and France. Once activated the Collider will fire beams of protons together recreating ...

This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, has given scientists a glimpse into conditions that existed when the universe was less than a second old.

Employing some 7,000 physicists and engineers from 111 nations, the Large Hadron Collider is a scientific endeavor unlike any the world has ever seen. Its 13-foot-wide tunnel contains two pipes ...
