The Large Hadron Collider has launched a new era for particle physics. Today at 6:06 a.m. CDT (1:06 p.m. Central European Summer Time) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, the first particles collided at the record energy of seven trillion electron volts (TeV).

High school students can learn about career options at the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Career Expo and meet with professionals in these fields from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7, at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab.

On Tuesday, March 30, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland will make their first attempt to achieve record-breaking particle collisions of 7 trillion electron volts, signifying the start of the research program for the world’s most powerful accelerator.

Deep underground sits a grouping of experiments, dedicated to discovering the secrets of the universe. On Monday, March 8, Fermilab will honor women who contributed to those experiments, and all women working at the laboratory, in celebration of International Women’s Day.
