The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, of which Belgium is a founding member, currently has the world’s largest particle accelerator on which it conducts research.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is 27 kilometers long, 100 metres underground, crossing the borders between Switzerland and France.
At the recent board meeting in Geneva on Wednesday, the idea of a new, larger particle accelerator was unanimously approved, phys.org reports.
