German Rolf-Dieter Heuer, Director General of CERN, informs journalists about restarting of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN, during a press conference at the Geneva Press Club in Geneva, in Geneva, Switzerland, Monday, March 8, 2010. The operators of the world's largest atom smasher hope to provide first discoveries about the elusive nature of dark matter later this year. The director of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, said the Large Hadron Collider will be ramped up to half-power in March 2010. That will still be three times more energy than the world record CERN set in 2009.
