"Next-Generation Particle Collider to Unveil Mysteries of the Dark Universe"
TL;DR
The Future Circular Collider (FCC), set to succeed the Large Hadron Collider, is being planned to investigate dark energy and dark matter by smashing particles together with unprecedented energy. The FCC will be over three times the length of the LHC and is expected to reach energies as great as 100 TeV, compared to the LHC's 13 TeV. The FCC's feasibility study is set to conclude in 2025, with construction potentially beginning in the mid-2030s, and the first stage of the FCC-ee expected to start operations in 2045.
