"Europe's €20bn Plan for Giant Collider to Uncover Universe's Secrets"

Europe plans to build a $17-billion supercollider, the Future Circular Collider (FCC), to study the Higgs boson in detail, following the lack of new physics revealed by the Large Hadron Collider. The 91-kilometre-long machine, set to begin construction in 2033, aims to collide electrons and positrons to generate and study around one million Higgs bosons. While some in the particle-physics community disagree with the focus on the FCC, CERN's director-general argues that the new machine will allow for significant advancements in addressing fundamental questions in physics.
