Giant atom-smasher set to restart this weekend: CERN

The LHC promises to unlock scientific mysteries about the creation of the Universe and the fundamental nature of matter — The Large Hadron Collider is nestled inside a circular tunnel on the Swiss-French border. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research said the world's biggest atom-smasher, which was shut down soon after its inauguration amid technical faults, is set to restart this weekend.

The world's biggest atom-smasher, which was shut down soon after its inauguration amid technical faults, is set to restart this weekend, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research said on Friday.
