The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has broken a lot of records in its day and it can now tick another one off of the list, by producing the highest-energy, human-made, particle collisions, breaching 13 teraelectronvolts (TeV). To put that into perspective, the movement of a mosquito is about one TeV …

Billions have been spent researching the little fellow, but it seems that scientists (mad, bad and downright boffin-like) may be ready to start discussing the physical characteristics of the Higgs Boson particle.
