By David Ponce Todd Johnson has been making ShockFossils for a while now but we just came across his work and are impressed beyond words. They are acrylic pieces with fractal designs that were created using a particle accelerator. Todd takes blocks of acrylic and brings them to an industrial accelerator facility where he rents [...]

Todd Johnson's Shockfossils are "multimillion volt Lichtenberg figures in acrylic." He masks acrylic slabs with lead and then rents time on a commercial particle accelerator and the result are beautiful, fern-like fractals. Shockfossils on deviantART

Want to hang out with the people who run the CMS? No, not the content management system. The Compact Muon Solenoid. It's one of the two big detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest and highest-energy particle accelerator in the world.
CERN physicist Dr. Albert De Roeck is hosting a Google+ Hangout tomorrow from inside the cavern where the experiment takes place, about 100 meters underneath Cessy, France. He'll explain the CMS...
