Bird-Related Accident Suggests the Large Hadron Collider Really Is Doomed [Large Hadron Collider]
io9 —
... nearly causing the LHC's niobium-titanium magnets to cease superconducting. The incident could have crippled the LHC yet again — and caused significant physical damage to the lab had the LHC been fully operational at the time — but CERN claims that it won't delay the full reactivation of the device, scheduled for later this month. Technicians believe that a passing bird dropped the bread into the machinery, just the LHC's latest run-in with Murphy's Law.
