Sketches from Leonardo da Vinci’s Notebook

The Large Hadron Collider
You may already know about Leonardo da Vinci’s submarine design, or his sketches for helicopters, parachutes and airplanes. But you not have seen his plan for a compact muon solenoid detector, almost identical to the one now used by CERN in its Large Hadron Collider. That, at least, is the idea behind this drawing by physicist Sergio Cittolin. View more images at the link.
