An American artist, 29-year-old Josef Kristofoletti, has just completed a scientific mural on the site of the CERN complex, which houses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The mural depicts the main detector apparatus from the ATLAS experiment. It covers the walls of a building on the surface 100 meters above the actual ATLAS detector ... which is over twice as big as the 40-foot tall mural.
