""Scientists at the world's biggest scientific experiment - the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) (link opens in a new window)at CERN (link opens in a new window), Geneva - are trying to answer fundamental questions about the nature of the Universe, the origin of mass, the structure of space and time, and the conditions of the early universe. For those of us not lucky enough to have the world's highest energy particle smasher in our own back gardens, we can still get close to the action using an exciting new smartphone App.
The new App, called 'LHSee (link opens in a new window)', makes the LHC accessible to anybody with a smartphone or tablet PC running the Google Android operating system. Written by Oxford University scientists in collaboration with the ATLAS (link opens in a new window), one of the four LHC experiments at CERN, it has been designed for experts and non-experts alike. The project was funded by the STFC through its Small Awards grant scheme.
For the first time you can now grab live collision events from the underground detectors in Geneva, and beam them direct to your own device.""
