From the BBC-
[quote]The Large Hadron Collider has successfully created a "mini-Big Bang" by smashing together lead ions instead of protons.
The scientists working at the enormous machine on Franco-Swiss border achieved the unique conditions on 7 November.
The experiment created temperatures a million times hotter than the centre of the Sun.
The LHC is housed in a 27km-long circular tunnel under the French-Swiss border near Geneva.
Up until now, the world's highest-energy particle accelerator - which is run by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern) - has been colliding protons, in a bid to uncover mysteries of the Universe's formation.[/quote]

Pretty cool stuff I have to say.
Ahh that's pretty sweet
ReplyDeleteWHATTTTTTTTTTTT? Wow wow wow... I have so been waiting for this ever since Angels & Demons. They did it? This is craziness... especially if they achieved temps of that magnitude. I'm going nuts now. Can't wait for the proton experiments. omg om gomg
ReplyDeleteThis is print worthy.
