Large Hadron Collider is shut down by CERN to make it more powerful

SMRTR summary

CERN has shut down the Large Hadron Collider for a four-year upgrade that will transform it into the more powerful High-Luminosity LHC. The $1.5 billion overhaul will deliver 10 times more luminosity and 100 times more data per second, requiring over 0.75 miles of magnets to be replaced. Set to restart in 2030, the upgraded collider could unlock secrets about dark matter, antimatter, and the universe's origins.
