First images of collisions at 13 TeV in CERN's Large Hadron Collider

At first glance they look much like previous proton-proton collisions recorded by the detectors at the world's biggest particle accelerator, but in fact no one has seen such events before

Last night we passed another milestone in the continuing adventure of the Large Hadron Collider.

Quick update, the story so far: after a very successful first running period (2009-2012) - in which amongst other things the Higgs boson was discovered - the LHC was shut down for maintenance and upgrades, and a planned restart this year at even higher energies.
