The world's most beloved particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, has achieved what scientists are describing as a "mini Big Bang".

20 years of work (and, previous to that, hundreds of years of work) has allowed scientists to recreate conditions similar to the dawn of the galaxy universe.

I'm kind of tired, so I won't go into the details of exactly how they managed to accelerate lead ions to unthinkable speeds and smash them together, but the BBC article provides a nice video interview with Dr. David Evans, one of the lead researchers on the experiment, who sums up the process nicely.

Check it out!
