After a two-year shutdown and upgrade, Europe’s multi-billion dollar Large Hadron Collider is about to ramp up for its second three-year run. Scientists say if nature cooperates, the more powerful beam crashes will give them a peek into the unseen dark universe. (AP Photo/Keystone, Martial Trezzini, File)

Nach der sensationellen Entdeckung des Higgs-Teilchens wollen Physiker am Europäischen Kernforschungszentrum CERN jetzt weitere Rätsel über den Aufbau des Universums lösen. Dies soll der komplett erneuerte größte Teilchenbeschleuniger der Welt (LHC) ermöglichen – mit viel mehr Energie als bisher. Nach zweijähriger Bauzeit werde die „Weltmaschine“ voraussichtlich Ende März gestartet.
