The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, and the largest single machine in the world.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is in Switzerland.
By smashing particles together at close to the speed of light, it promises to deliver dramatic new insights into the fundamental nature of the matter.
In 2012, the science world broke into celebration with the announcement that the Higgs boson - sometimes controversially referred to as the ‘God particle’ - had been found.
The discovery of the particle, which is believed to give mass to matter, was a crowning achievement and justification for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Cern.
We can expect even greater discoveries from the collider in the coming years - and one in particular could be the most important in history.
‘There is no particle that we know of today that can explain dark matter, let alone what dark energy might be.
‘So if we could directly produce dark matter particles at the LHC this would be a huge step forward in our understanding of the composition of the universe
Cern's Large Hadron Collider will be turned back on in March 2015 - at double power.
The world's biggest particle collider, located near Geneva, has been undergoing a two-year refit and had been offline since February 2014.
Work is now 'in full swing' to start circulating proton beams again in March, with the first collisions due by May, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Cern) said in a statement.
'With this new energy level, the (collider) will open new horizons for physics and for future discoveries,' said Cern Director General Rolf Heuer.
'I'm looking forward to seeing what nature has in store for us.'
The goal for 2015 will be to run with two proton beams in order to produce 13 TeV (teraelectronvolts) collisions, an energy never achieved by any accelerator in the past.
They might seem quite different, but both the Higgs boson and dark matter particles may have some similarities.
The Higgs boson is thought to be the particle that gives matter its mass.
And in the same vain, dark matter is thought to account for much of the 'missing mass' in galaxies in the universe.
It may be that these mass-giving particles have more in common than was thought.
I will be adding more stuff here as there is news today and with the restart in March a LOT more news.
Anything you find, chuck it on.........help me feed my head. !
