ATLAS occupies just one small corner of the strange and wonderful world that is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the circular, 14-mile-underground particle accelerator that promises scientists untold insights into the mysteries of the cosmos. More than 25 years in the planning, with a price tag of about $10 billion, the LHC officially - finally - began smashing protons together on March 30. The goal: to answer the most fundamental questions about how the universe works. (See pictures...

Physics professor Melissa Franklin—another SPU 20 professor, who had to miss the exhibit because she is in Geneva working on the Large Hadron Collider—first suggested giving students the option of creating an original project rather than writing a final paper...
ROLF HEUER, director general of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on refraining from celebrating after the Large Hadron Collider broke the record for proton acceleration on Nov. 30, sending the particles hurtling at an energy of 1.18 trillion electron volts...
...wrote to a friend, “this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion.” Perhaps what we have imagined to be a philosophical question has now revealed itself to be a question of science. When they speculated about the consequences the Large Hadron Collider would have for human civilization, physicists probably didn’t expect to answer the question of free will as well. Whether the world’s largest particle collider will ever succeed in creating a Higgs boson effect, it has already made a hefty contribution to the field...
