How a Poor Soldering Job Brought Down the LHC

As I wrote previously, the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be out of action until spring because of a helium leak into the tunnel. While scientists are still not 100% sure what the problem was --- the tunnel still needs to be warmed from its normal supercool temperature so inspectors can analyze the section --- they have their suspicions.
