If your senses have detected a sudden explosion of nerd activity, this might be the cause. The LHC is getting even closer to its operational status.
From the engineering point of view, all the magnets and most circuits must reach a superconducting state only possible at extremely low temperatures -2 kelvin and lower-. So that's the big news, the LHC is cold and almost ready for the first experiments which are expected to take place on 10th Sept., yay!
Why is this cool? Because it's the biggest and most important experiment(s) in the history of mankind, period.
If you've never heard about the LHC before I invite you to browse their fine website.
