Particle accelerators in the news
In France, they're being used to examine the glass content in bottles of wine to authenticate the age. But of course on September 10th in Switzerland, they'll turn on the mother of all particle accelerators, which will either devour life as we know it or reveal stuff that might make Stephen Hawking's toes curl, e.g., Hey, a Higgs Boson! Expected results: more knowledge of hadrons, quarks, thingies, and doohickeys, and also of whether people involved in this expensive project will ever be trusted with grant money again.
