The world's largest atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, has been re-started after 14 months of repairs. The $10 billion machine suffered a spectacular failure (a faulty electrical connection) more than a year ago - just nine days after the launch.
Scientists are hoping the results from the device, which was designed to smash together beams of protons in a bid to recreate conditions after the Big Bang, will shed some light on the makeup of matter and the universe.
