Large Hadron Collider Pop-Up Book

By Jason Boog 

Authors Anton Radevsky and Emma Sanders have teamed up to build the world’s first pop-up book about the Large Hadron Collider. As you read the book, you can actually build a replica of the massive physics tool.

Here’s more from Wired magazine: “It took CERN 12 years to build the subatomic smasher, and it took Sanders two years to re-create the folded-paper mini-me. She enlisted pop-up genius Anton Radevsky to painstakingly transform the LHC’s many elements into pulp sculpture, but they needed a lot of technical assistance—nearly 40 physicists provided scientific guidance, photos, and sketches of various parts of the $9 billion science experiment.”
