Large Hadron Collider's Atlas Experiment in LEGO

In order to celebrate the Large Hadron Collider‘s discovery of its first new particle, here’s a LEGO model of the LHC’s Atlas experiment. Of course, there’s a whole lot more to the LHC than just Atlas, but no one has gotten around to making the whole thing. Yet. For now, we’ll just have to marvel at LEGO Atlas and see what it can discover. Maybe the stud isn’t the smallest unit of LEGO matter after all.
