A couple of weeks ago the Large Hadron Collider became the world's highest energy particle accelerator, reaching a beam energy of 1.18 TeV. It also breaks the 1 TeV barrier for the first time, taking the record of the Tevatron at Fermilab, near Chicago.
The equipment is gradually being 'tuned up' and hopefully we will see some very interesting things emerge in 2010. I look forward to following the news.
