Underground Science: Exploring the Large Hadron Collider
<p>B<strong>uried far beneath the French-Swiss border is one of the most iconic science experiments ever constructed — the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. With a circumference of 27 kilometres, the LHC is the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider.</strong></p>
<p>The ring may be hidden, but the offices, control centres and laboratories required to run it certainly aren’t. When I first arrived at CERN, the site of the LHC, I was slightly overwhelmed by its scale. More than 17,500 researchers of over 110 nationalities work on the LHC (although the majority aren’t based on site), and they fill the sprawling site in Geneva with a bustling, intensely collaborative atmosphere.</p>
