The Large Hadron Collider
Buried 300 feet underground, the Collider smashes subatomic particles together with enormous energy.

As Lesley Stahl reported in 2015, by studying the collisions, scientists made a major discovery: the Higgs boson. Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, the particle's namesake, died this week at 94.
