Scientists whose capture of the 'God particle' hit the headlines three years ago have obtained a new and much sharper picture of their trophy. Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's biggest atom smasher, have greatly increased what physicists know about the Higgs boson, which is responsible for giving other elementary particles mass. The results show with a new level of precision the way the particle is generated and decays, and how it interacts with other particles. Scroll down for video. CERN's Large Hadron Collider, located in a 27-kilometer (16.8-mile) tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border, was instrumental in the discovery of the Higgs boson. The subatomic particle had long been theorized but wasn't confirmed until 2013. The collider was recently given a $150 million upgrade that allows atoms to be smashed together with even greater force, allowing it to recreate conditions similar to those during the earliest moments of the universe.

All the measured properties match the predictions of the Standard Model, the theory encompassing all of nature's subatomic particles, forces and interactions that has stood the test of time since the 1970s. The missing Higgs boson was a yawning gap in the Standard Model until the discovery of a particle with its properties was dramatically announced by LHC scientists in 2012. Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, which operates the LHC - a massive particle accelerator straddling the French and Swiss border - later confirmed that the particle was a Higgs boson. Without the Higgs boson the universe would be cold, dark and lifeless. Because of its fundamental importance, the Higgs was nicknamed the 'God particle'. Its discovery won a share of the Nobel prize for physics for Professor Peter Higgs, the University of Edinburgh scientist who predicted the existence of the particle in the 1960s and lent it his name. Data from two of the LHC's giant particle collision detectors, CMS and Atlas, were combined to provide the new Higgs boson profile.

Here are a few experiments created in Element 3D V2 with simple lighting and Ambient Occlusion. It was identical except for and additional layer of small blood particles generated by the game makers. Roll over images. We're going out to film today, but here is an example on some behind the scenes footage.

The LHC was restarted on April 5 this year, having been turned off for two years during a major renovation project that cost £100 million. The world's largest atom-smashing machine is most famous for proving the existence of the Higgs boson. Physicists at Cern, the Geneva-based organisation which runs the LHC, are aiming to see dark matter for the first time ever thanks to the device's upgrade. Instead, they have discovered the pentaquark, for now. The LHC is situated underground below the border between Switzerland and France, and consists of nearly 17 miles of circular tunnels.

It was shut down so that its energy levels could be almost doubled, allowing scientists to carry out more extreme experiments. The LHC (pictured) was restarted on April 5 this year, having been turned off for two years during a major renovation project that cost £100 million The LHC, which cost nearly £4 billion, ran at a low 'injection' energy of 450 giga-electron volts (GeV) when it restarted, but its power has now been increased to a record-breaking 13 tera-electron volts (TeV) - up from 7 TeV at the time it managed to detect the Higgs boson in 2013. British scientist Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize after the discovery of the particle, which he and others predicted would exist but which had never been seen until the construction of the LHC. Physicists have set their sights on finding dark matter, the undetectable material that makes up 84 per cent of matter in the universe and binds galaxies together yet whose nature is unknown.

If they are able to detect and describe dark matter, it will mark a huge leap forward in our understanding of the universe. Cern spokesman Arnaud Marsollier said: 'The LHC will be running day and night. When we will get results we don't know. What is important is that we will have collisions at energies we've never had before. '.It took 50 years to find the Higgs boson and 20 years to build this machine, and it will be running at least until 2035, so we can be patient.'

Now scientists will be able to use the Higgs boson as a reference for further study, opening up the possibility of discovering new physics phenomena.
