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 particle... [27 Jul 2009]
Photos: The greatest tech sites from around the globe
Photo The facility is regarded as the birthplace of the internet and currently home to an experiment recreating conditions fractions of a second after the Big Bang. Scientists at Cern recently switched on the Large Hadron... [13 Nov 2008]
Business tech born in Cern's Big Bang lab
News The project sees the IT department at the lab behind the "Big Bang" Large Hadron Collider push cutting edge kit to breaking point to perfect it for its own use, and the consumer and business markets. Cutting edge... [17 Oct 2008]
Photos: The Cern computers cracking the Big Bang
Photo The Cern Computer Centre in Geneva, seen here, is the number-crunching hub that powers the physics research lab's quest to discover the nature of the universe. Jean Michel Jouanigot, head of network services at Cern,... [06 Oct 2008]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: Where are all the young professionals?
Comment We should teach physics first because of the big-bang. There is no physics, chemistry, biology. As a young engineer I joined various professional bodies in order to get on the... [29 Mar 2007]
'Maiden flight' for world's biggest grid
News When it starts in 2007 the LHC will probe the physics of the Universe at the earliest moments after the Big Bang - and in the process produce 15 million gigabytes of data per year. UK physicists have... [16 Feb 2006]
The universe in a computer? It's not as silly as it sounds...
News In addition to investigating the early history of the universe, the CosmoGrid will on a day-to-day basis be used to process data from the COBE satellite which measures leftover microwave radiation from the big bang. [17 Jul 2002]
