Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire und sein jüngst fertiggestellter größter supraleitender magnet der welt, hängt ein dezentes rechenzentrum dran.

Due to switch on in 2007, it will ultimately collide beams of protons at an energy of 14 TeV . Beams of lead nuclei will be also accelerated, smashing together with a collision energy of 1150 TeV.

(A TeV is a unit of energy used in particle physics. 1 TeV is about the energy of motion of a flying mosquito. What makes the LHC so extraordinary is that it squeezes energy into a space about a million million times smaller than a mosquito.)
