A special recognition
On Sept. 10, scientists at the European laboratory CERN sent the first beam of protons around the Large Hadron Collider. Forty-six minutes later, LHC controllers posted in the accelerator's electronic logbook a special version of the Google logo (see image below), which had appeared on the company's Web site that day. It's one of a series of logos Google has designed for its search page to celebrate holidays, historic events, and other occasions. For more on the LHC first beam, see the logbook on the inside back cover of this issue.
