The Muon Guys lead an experiment, called Mu2e, that will look for an event so rare that it was thought no one could build a machine sensitive enough to see it.
In "The LHC decoded," walk through three of the computer displays that highlight scientific and technical milestones from the Large Hadron Collider's first few months of operation.
Plus: A CERN chip inspires a teen space project and high-school research network; an artist turns electronic junk into works inspired by particle physics; the fast-paced life of an accelerator scientist at the world's brightest X-ray laser; sterilizing medical supplies with accelerators; CERN invents the touch screen; charged leptons explained; and, as always, Signal to Background and highlights from our blog.
