CERN's Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider is scheduled to go live with its first major experiment on September 10th.
From their website:
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe.
If everything you have read or seen is too technical, you can always fall back on a quick YouTube movie to make everything crystal clear.
