Atom Smasher - A World of Particle Physics

What is an Atom Smasher? Atom Smasher is an older, popular name for a Particle Accelerator. They use Electromagnetic Fields to accelerate charged particles like protons/electrons to high energies, nearly at light speed. It re-creates conditions that existed during the first billionth of a second after the BIG BANG at the birth of the universe. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is by far the most powerful particle accelerator built to date.
