Geneva -- Scientists have quietly moved to power up the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland for a second time, officials say.

A preliminary run conducted by CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, was performed last week in a much different atmosphere than the media glare that preceded the collider's first test last year, which ended in an embarrassing failure, The Times of London reported Wednesday.
