Project Overview
unveils plans for the , a 91-kilometer loop aimed at advancing physics research, with a focus on high-precision and high-energy experiments across its two phases set for the mid-2040s and 2070.
The estimated cost of the is around 14 billion Swiss francs ($16 billion), with decisions on proceeding expected from CERN's member countries by 2028.
Scientific and Global Implications
The FCC aims to deepen understanding of the Higgs boson and explore new physics, potentially influencing fields like cryogenics and superconducting magnets.
U.S. support for CERN, crucial for the project's future, remains uncertain under the Trump administration, despite previous commitment from the administration and significant U.S. involvement in CERN's work.
