Large Hadron Collider Sets World Energy Record
By
Much of the hype regarding the large hadron collider has died down since it failed to bring about the feared black hole that would doom us all. Work still continues however, and the secrets of the universe may yet be revealed through their efforts. That is, if it doesn’t tear the fabric of the universe and doom us all.
The LHC pushed the energy of its particle beams beyond one trillion electron volts, making it the world’s highest energy particle accelerator.
The previous record was held by the Tevatron particle accelerator in Chicago.
Officials say it is another milestone in the LHC’s drive towards its main scientific tests set for 2010.
