semiconductor sequencing chip that will be used in the new Proton
semi-conductor based genome sequencing machine in Guilford, Connecticut,
January 5, 2012. After years of predictions that the “$1,000 genome” – a
read-out of a person’s complete genetic information for about the cost
of a dental crown – was just around the corner, a U.S. company is
announcing January 10, 2012 that it has achieved that milestone and

A technician looks at collision at the CMS experiment in the control room of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland April 5, 2012. At 0:38 CEST this morning, the LHC shift crew declared “stable beams” as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC’s four interaction points. The collision energy of 8 TeV is a new world record, and increases the machine’s discovery potential considerably.
