Investigations carried out since then have shown a way to prevent such accidents happening again, and rebuilding is now under way.
The first of eight 25 m coil casings for the ATLAS experiment's barrel toroid magnet system arrived at CERN in March by road from Germany.
Particle physicists involved in the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment are eagerly scanning data recorded during a December 2001 NASA space shuttle mission.
The expansion of the University of Minnesota's Soudan underground laboratory is now complete.
On a cold, clear night last May the shutters rolled away from the aperture window.
The extent of the damage suggested some kind of chain reaction in the tubes, with one implosion setting off the next. It happened as the detector was being refilled with water after routine maintena...
On 12 November, thousands of photomultipliers imploded in the huge Superkamiokande detector in Japan, which has produced important results on neutrino physics.
Although CERN's LEP electron-positron collider finished operating in November 2000, analysis of the enormous amount of data it produced will continue for some time.
Transition radiation is playing an increasingly important role in the armoury of detection techniques for particle physics.
Detectors, like people, encounter problems as they get older.
