Cables connect server racks in CERN

Cables connect server racks in the computer center of the Cern, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, near Geneva, on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008. CERN’s in house computer farm will provide only a small percentage of the processor power that is needed to analyze the huge data that the Large Hadron Collider experiment will collect. The rest of the data will be processed with a computer grid, concentrating the calculating power of more that 100 research institutions worldwide.

Finally a step forward in Anti Matter theory

Photo released by CERN on Thursday, Nov 18, 2010 shows an image taken by the ALPHA annihilation detector showing untrapped antihydrogen atoms annihilating on the inner surface of the ALPHA trap. The events are concentrated at the electrode radius of about 22.3 mm. Scientists at the world’s biggest physics lab said they have achieved a breakthrough in the hunt for antimatter. An international team of physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva say they created an entire atom made of antimatter and then for the first time managed to hold onto it.
