CERN plans a $16 billion, 91-kilometer collider to explore physics mysteries, set for decision in 2028.

Scientists at CERN have unveiled plans for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a massive 91-kilometer atom smasher near the French-Swiss border, including beneath Lake Geneva. The project, costing about $16 billion, aims to solve lingering physics mysteries and could enhance understanding of the Higgs boson. CERN's member countries will decide in 2028 if the collider, scheduled for the mid-2040s, moves forward.
