⚛️ CERN Proposes 91-km Particle Accelerator

CERN has unveiled plans for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a 91-km particle accelerator under Lake Geneva along the French-Swiss border. The FCC is set to revolutionize particle physics, exploring fundamental forces and pushing technological innovation. Its energy levels could potentially surpass those of the Large Hadron Collider by tenfold. If approved, construction may begin in the mid-2040s.

The project includes two phases: the first, starting in the mid-2040s, will focus on high-precision experiments, while the second, expected by 2070, will feature high-energy collisions of protons and heavy ions. Estimated costs are around $14 billion.
