The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the world's highest-energy sub-atomic particle smasher. In July 2012 physicists working at the LHC announced convincing evidence for discovery of a new type of particle that is very likely a Higgs Boson.

Portraits of distant worlds
Dr Suzanne Aigrain
Less than twenty years ago, the Solar System was the only planetary system we knew about. Since then, astronomers have discovered many hundreds of exoplanets - planets which orbit other stars than the Sun. We now know that exoplanets are common, perhaps even outnumbering the stars in our Galaxy. Some of them are so utterly unlike any of the Solar System planets that they challenge both our imagination, and our theories of how planets form and evolve.
In this talk, I will describe some of the highlights and challenges of exoplanet exploration in the past decade, and outline how we are working to detect and characterise an ever wider range of planets, including some which might harbour life.
