The Large Hadron Collider gets reset and refreshed each year – a CERN physicist explains how the team uses subatomic splashes to restart the experiments

When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, don’t work that way. Instead, engineers and physicists need to take a few weeks every year to carefully reset the collider and...
