Some scientists called it the highlight of their career. On March 30, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider smashed together two proton beams. Each was moving with an energy equivalent to 3.5 trillion electron volts, for a combined 7 trillion--a new world-record energy level. The victory was a long time coming for CERN, Europe's nuclear-research group, which for 15 years has pumped $10 billion into the setback-plagued project.
