Cern ready to restart LHC at half power this year
News After a year of setbacks, Cern plans to restart its Large Hadron Collider in November at a tempo that won't overtax the machinery behind the giant particle physics experiment. The physicists will inject... [10 Aug 2009]
Photos: From Big Bang physics to F1 racing - how analytics is shaping the world's decisions
Photo The energies generated when particles collide within the LHC are equivalent to those fractions of a second after the Big Bang, and physicists hope these conditions will offer a glimpse at the Higgs Boson, a... [27 Jul 2009]
Photos: The Cern computers cracking the Big Bang
Photo A formidable 8,000 servers housing 40,000 Intel processor cores provide the grunt to help crack the petabytes of data spewed out from Cern's cutting-edge particle accelerators, based in Geneva, Switzerland. [06 Oct 2008]
The 15-petabyte network behind the Cern atom smasher
News Terabytes of data are streaming through dedicated fibre optic links between laboratories and universities globally in preparation for the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), being... [15 Jul 2008]
Optimising LAN Access to Grid Enabled Storage Elements
White Paper The worldwide LHC computing grid (WLCG) will distribute this data to over two hundred Tier-1 and Tier-2 computing centres, enabling particle physicists around the globe to access the data for analysis. [12 Jan 2008]
Will future networks be faster than light-speed?
News But, if the ball was a subatomic particle, subject to quantum laws, it would also behave like a wave. The "wave function" describing the particle would represent the probability of finding it at a... [17 Aug 2007]
Grid seeks bird flu cure
News The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (Pparc) said on Thursday that it put up a grid computing project, which was originally designed for particle physicists to perform... [05 May 2006]
Leader: Open systems, open minds
Leader Physicists will be the first to benefit from the world's biggest computing grid, being built to help process the vast amounts of data which will flow from CERN's particle smashing experiments. It's rare... [24 Nov 2005]
Physicists put huge computing grid through its paces
News UK particle physicists have started the next phase of testing for the world's largest computing grid. During this period, particle physicists working on the experiment... [21 Sep 2005]
Middle managers replaced by robots by 2051
News CERN scientists capture the Higgs Boson particle making possible new power generation. However, society will suffer from an increasing shortage of engineers, mathematicians and physicists. Offices will... [16 Oct 2001]
