Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider started recording data from the highest-energy particle collisions achieved on Earth. This new data will enable an international collaboration to study the Higgs boson, search for dark matter and develop a more complete understanding of the laws of nature. Oak Ridge National Laboratory led an equipment upgrade for LHC’s A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE), which aims to learn more about conditions of the early universe.
