Planning is well underway for the successor to the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The new "atom smasher," named the Future Circular Collider (FCC), will dwarf the LHC in size and power. It will smash particles together with so much energy, in fact, that scientists say it may be capable of investigating our universe's most mysterious entities: Dark energy and dark matter.
