Scientists at CERN – home to the world’s largest particle accelerator – have put forward proposals for a new “supercollider” which it is hoped will help uncover the secrets of 95% of the universe.<\/p>\n

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is seen as the giant successor<\/strong> to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which sits in a 17-mile tunnel beneath the ground near Geneva, Switzerland – but the new machine is also facing criticism for its \u00a317bn price tag.<\/p>\n

The LHC, which started operating in 2008, achieved its first high-energy particle collisions in 2010 and in recent years has received a series of upgrades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It accelerates subatomic particles to almost the speed of light, before smashing them into each other.<\/p>\n

The LHC discovered the so-called “God particle” – the Higgs boson – which enabled researchers to better understand where matter gets its mass from.<\/p>\n

However, it has still been unable to find out more about the secrets of dark matter and dark energy – little known forces and particles which would allow scientists to have a better understanding of the universe.<\/p>\n

The new proposals come as part of the FCC study by CERN – the European Organisation for Nuclear Research – and would be paid for by its member nations, including the UK, who are all reviewing the plans.<\/p>\n

The FCC, which would begin construction in the 2040s and have a circumference of more than 56 miles, has a goal to “push the energy and intensity frontiers of particle colliders” and involves universities and experts from around the world.<\/p>\n

CERN’s director general, Professor Fabiola Gianotti, told BBC News: “It is a tool that will allow humanity to make enormous steps forwards in answering questions in fundamental physics about our knowledge of the universe.<\/p>\n

“And to do that, we need a more powerful instrument.”<\/p>\n

The price and size of the new machine has attracted criticism from other experts.<\/p>\n

The UK’s former chief scientific adviser, Prof Sir David King, told the BBC: “When the world is faced with threats from the climate emergency, would it not be wiser to channel these research funds into the endeavours to create a manageable future?”<\/p>\n

The planet’s next supercollider would consume as much energy as a “medium-sized city”, according to CERN – but adds the FCC would use “just one-sixth of the energy of its most power-intensive rivals to achieve the same physical goals”.<\/p>\n

It claims the FCC’s carbon footprint would be “just 1% of the most polluting alternative”.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
