The Large Hadron Collider - First Beam

Big Bang experiment" - an attempt to recreate the start of the universe using the biggest and most complex machine yet built.

The £5bn Large Hadron Collider was powered up without a hitch at Cern, the European nuclear research organisation in Geneva.

After a tense first hour researchers announced they had achieved "full beam", meaning that a stream of sub-atomic particles was racing round the LHC's 27 kilometre-long circular tunnel at just under the speed of light. The next stage will be to fire a beam in the opposite direction.
