More glitches for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): The same day operators announced that a 30-ton transformer that cools part of the particle smasher had broken within hours of the LHC’s launch last week, a mishap yesterday resulted in “a large helium leak” into the collider’s tunnel.
According to a press statement, “the most likely cause [...]

 
Scientists expect startup glitches in the massive, complex machines they use to smash atoms.
But the unique qualities of the world’s largest particle collider mean that the meltdown of a small electrical connection could delay its groundbreaking research until next year, scientists said Sunday.
Because the Large Hadron Collider operates at near absolute zero — colder than [...]

The note read: ‘We’re pulling your pants down because we don’t want to see you running around naked looking to hide yourselves when the panic comes.’
The hack was all the more audacious because it began on Wednesday as the machine, which will smash [...]

The Large Hadron Collider at Cern has been hit by hackers, raising big concerns about the IT used on the project, according to reports.
The Telegraph has reported that a group called the ‘Greek Security Team’ hacked into the facility and posted a warning about weaknesses [...]

A Greek hacking crew have come close to getting into the controls of Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which went live on Wednesday.

The hackers managed to breach Cern’s network defences and got into the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS). There they left a file reading “GST: Greek Security Team. We are 2600 - dont mess with us.”

Hackers have broken into one of the computer networks of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
A group calling itself the Greek Security Team left a rogue webpage describing the technicians responsible for computer security at the giant atom smasher as “schoolkids” — but reassuring scientists that they did not want [...]

Hackers defaced one of the Web sites of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) earlier this week, but the controversial science project’s network suffered no permanent damage, a spokesman for CERN maintained Friday.
The attack took place Monday, two days before the massive collider ran its first operational test, said James Gillies, a spokesman [...]

As the first particles began circulating in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) this week, a group of hackers calling themselves the “Greek Security Team” penetrated computer systems inside CERN’s Geneva, Switzerland, facility, where the world’s biggest particle accelerator is housed, the Telegraph.co.uk reported today.
The hackers were reportedly targeting the [...]

According to media reports, a website associated with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) atom-smashing experiment at CERN has been compromised by computer hackers.
A group of hackers called the “GST” or “Greek Security Team” has claimed responsibility for the attack, and posted a lengthy message on the site to prove [...]
