Silicon Crystals Could Be In The LHC Driving Seat

Silicon Crystals Could Be In The LHC Driving Seat : Discovery News: "The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, sending protons whipping around its tunnels at velocities near the speed of light, and employing enormous magnets to steer those intense beams. And now silicon crystals are poised to do their part to help pilot protons around the LHC."
