  • One could be forgiven for thinking CERN's work is done. After all, the Higgs boson has been found, and the machine that nabbed it has been sitting idle since mid-February. But the place is still buzzing. In a million minutes' time, come February 2015, the Large Hadron Collider will start up again, revamped and raring to go. In 2012, running at an energy of 7 TeV, it saw the Higgs boson. When it restarts, it will be capable of more than 13 TeV. Here, Brooks joins the action as the world's biggest particle smasher gets its biggest revamp with 956,800 mins to go.
