We are at the beginning of a new age in physics: the Large Hadron Collider Ring of CERN, the world’s largest particle accelerator was put into operation in 2009. The new physical results expected from it could basically modify what we know about the deepest structure of material and the birth of the Universe. In the future, cutting-edge technologies applied in these experiments could be used in medical diagnostics, in the processing of large data bases or even in security technology. The research carried out in the large hadron collider (with the participation of many Hungarian scientists and students) is already in the focus of public attention. The new results will strengthen trust in scientific research.
