CERN
CERN is one of the world's greatest scientific communities, located in Switzerland. Physicists from all over the world study and conduct research at CERN.
It is the machine that scientists hope will recreate the conditions present at the beginning of time. But scientists at the £3.6bn Large Hadron Collider (LHC) found their plans to emulate the big bang postponed this week when a passing bird dropped a "bit of baguette" into the machine, causing it to overheat.
Cern, the European particle physics laboratory, launched the LHC with much fanfare on 10 September last year. Physicists hope to use...

Earlier this week, an electrical short again sidelined the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator on the French-Swiss border. As the Register first reported, the cause of the electrical short appears to have been a baguette caught inside the machine.
CERN sources have confirmed the incident and blamed it on an errant bird. Under condition of anonymity, a CERN insider answered the Great Beyond's questions about...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has reported that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva has been temporarily shut down due to a piece of French baguette dropped into the cooling unit, most likely from a passing bird, according to India Today. The LHC is extremely delicate, but fortunately the cooling irregularities were noticed in time to prevent major damage. The LHC has been plagued with difficulties, but is...

French police have arrested a physicist working at CERN, Europe's premier particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, on charges of terrorism. The suspect, a French-Algerian, was taken into custody by French police on 8 October in the town of Vienne. He is believed to be a postdoc at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) who, since 2003, has been performing data analysis on one of four major experiments at the...

MOSCOW, October 10 (RIA Novosti) - The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will re-launch its particle accelerator, which has been out of operation since last year, in November, the body's director general said. Experiments using Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were suspended last September shortly after a successful start due to a serious fault between two superconducting magnets and a subsequent helium leak into the tunnel housing...
