The LHC has thousands of magnets which will be maintained in this frigid condition using liquid helium. The magnets are arranged in a ring that runs for 27km through the giant tunnel. Once the LHC is operational, two particle beams - usually consisting of protons accelerated to high energies - will be fired down pipes running through the magnets. These beams will then travel in opposite directions around the main ring at close to the speed of light. At allotted points along the tunnel, the beams will cross paths, smashing into one another with cataclysmic force. Scientists hope to see new particles in the debris of these collisions, revealing fundamental new insights into the nature of the cosmos and how it came into being. The mo ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN lab on the Swiss-French border is the most powerful physics experiment ever built, and once turned on will shoot particle beams at close to the speed of light through a ring of tunnels 27km long. Scientists are aiming to re-create the conditions that would have occured soon after the big bang. To achieve this feat, parts of the LHC have to be cooled to 1.9 Kelvin ( -271C or -456F ), which is now entering the final stages . As this is colder than deep space it means it is one of the coolest places in the universe. As long as everything goes to plan, the big cool down should take another couple of weeks, with electrical testing being carried out after that which could take around as long again. Once the LHC is turned on it is hoped it will help unravel some of the mysteries of the universe. Exciting stuff. ...
