The Large Hadron Collider created by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, officially became the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator on Monday. The enormous facility has sent two beams of protons shooting through its ring at 1.18 teraelectronvolts. It happened 10 days after scientists started up the collider again following a one-year hiatus due to technical problems. The previous record of 0.98 TeV was set by the U.S. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Tevatron collider in 2001.
