Voyage to the Heart of Matter: the ATLAS experiment at CERN

The scientists at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) are trying to answer some of the most fundamental questions about the birth of the universe and the nature of matter itself. This text provides a unique opportunity to learn about a monumental experiment in subatomic physics through an interactive and colorful “pop-up” tour around the Large Hadron Collider, a 27-kilometer underground atom-smashing track in France and Switzerland. Experience three-dimensional protons colliding with the ATLAS detector at practically the speed of light and enjoy learning about the forefront of modern subatomic physics research as it leaps off the page.
