This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) uses extremely strong magnets to collide particles at nearly the speed of light, breaking them up into smaller components for study. The LHC is already capable of slamming about 60 particles together in a single experiment, which has led to some of the most important particle physics discoveries of the century. But scientists at CERN are not stopping there. They...
