@Large Hadron Collider - Upgraded and Restarted
After a 2 year break, the Large Hadron Collider has been turned back on again after some important upgrades to the particle collider facility. It's hoped that these upgrades will allow the LHC to detect even more particles to fill in our understanding of particle physics. So how was the LHC improved and what are they hoping to see now it's back up and running.
