New Energy Record Eclipsed (BBC News)

Large Hadron Collider smashes energy record again

The LHC's tunnel runs for 27km under the Franco-Swiss border The Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest physics experiment, has broken its own record for particle collisions. On Friday morning, the machine created two beams of protons, each with an energy of 3.5 trillion electron volts. The effort breaks the prior record, set by the LHC in December, of just over a trillion electron volts in each beam. The LHC will now aim to smash those two beams together, hoping to create new particles that give insight into the most fundamental workings of physics. FULL STORY HERE
