They have been waiting for this moment for 27-years it is a breathless, anxious wait as scientists scan screens searching for the smallest of signals.
Last week CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started providing new physics data after a two year shutdown for improvements.
The LHC is now initiating collisions at a record energy of 13 Teraelectron-Volts (13TeV), the highest collision energy reached in the history of physics.
Scientists believe this will open a new scientific chapter and more importantly a deeper understanding of our universe.

The team is delighted.
Rolf Heuer is the outgoing director general at CERN: “I think we are living a fantastic moment, a great moment collision at 13 TeV for physics.”
The team are searching for the smallest building blocks of matter as well as explaining existing phenomena su
