Although voted as the successor to the DVD officially by the International DVD Forum Organization, it is in close competition with the Blu-ray, developed by companies like Sony and Hewlett Packard. (A similar competition took place with the DVD, Toshiba's prototype ultimately chosen over Sony's).

It employs a 405 nm blue laser and has each capacity layer is 15gb. Toshiba has developed a dual-layered 30gb disk and a 45gb triple-layered disk.

Companies supporting the HD DVD include NEC, Sanyo, Microsoft, New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, and Warner Bros.

CERN's efforts are now primarily focused on the construction and completion of the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. The 27 kilometre particle accelerator/collider will become the world's most powerful.

Using the LHC (to be completed in 2007) CERN hopes to set and study conditions very close to those shortly after the Big Bang. They hope to answer questions such as: "What is Mass? Are there extra dimensions? Are there violations between the symmetry of matter and antimatter?"

Numerous CERN physicist have been awarded Nobel Prizes, and CERN is reconized as the creator of the World Wide Web.
