Supersized Hadron Collider to ‘reveal universe secrets’: Tech & Science Daily podcast

The £17 billion successor to the Large Hadron Collider is being planned by Cern scientists to continue the work of the world’s largest particle accelerator.

The Swiss team hopes that, if approved, the Future Circular Collider will help uncover the secrets of 95 per cent of the universe.

It’s three times bigger than the Large Hadron Collider, which operates in a 17-mile underground tunnel near Geneva and discovered the “God particle”, helping researchers examine mass within matter.

King Charles has become one of hundreds of thousands of Britons diagnosed with cancer every year.

The 75-year-old monarch has an unspecified form of the disease, with Buckingham Palace saying that a “separate issue of concern”, that’s so far unnamed, was discovered during his recent procedure for a benign prostate enlargement.

The Palace says Charles has started “a schedule of regular treatments”.

Palaeontologists, led by the University of Bristol, have discovered a new species of pterosaur on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

It’s been named Ceoptera evansae and is a winged reptile believed to have lived between 168 to 166 million years ago during the Middle Jurassic period.

While the skeleton’s incomplete – with only parts of the shoulders, wings, legs and backbone remaining – researchers say it provides new evolutionary insight.

The UK is among more than 35 countries to sign a new international agreement to take action against “hackers-for-hire” and online markets selling tools for cyber attacks.

Plus, Russian search giant Yandex sold in Kremlin-backed deal and students use AI to 2,000-year-old Herculaneum texts from charred volcano scroll.
