There's been no new Large Hadron Collider news out of CERN because of some completely incomprehensible (to me) helium leak.
See: (The) failure damaged the plumbing that pipes liquid helium around the system to keep the superconducting magnets at a chilly -271 °C. Large amounts of helium vaporised, causing several magnets to heat up and damaging nearby equipment with the sudden burst of pressure.
Maybe it's good news though since it keeps those pesky outbreaks of mini black holes at bay.
