LHC Powers up With New Volunteer Computing Européen pour la
Recherche Nucléaire -- European Council for Nuclear Research) is
teaming up with United Nations Institute for Training and
Research (UNITAR), and the University of Geneva to create an
organization dubbed "Citizen Cyberscience Centre", which looks
to test and deploy similar projects. The Citizen Cyberscience
Centre just yesterday released [press release] its second
generation LHC@home software, whose ambitious goal is to assist
scientists with locating the legendary Higgs boson and other
exotic The client is available to download here. Its concept is
that while scientists have advanced physics theory that tells
them how they expect systems to behave, they can't actually give
a prediction of how a particular system will behave until they
put that theory into a sy
