🏗 90.7 km: The Length of the Most Powerful Collider in History

In 2025, CERN confirmed the feasibility and technical viability of the Future Circular Collider (FCC), the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

The 90.7 km ring would run beneath France and Switzerland at an average depth of 200 meters. The planned collision energy would reach up to 100 TeV, at least 6 times higher than the LHC. The main goals are ultra-precise studies of the Higgs boson and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

The first phase is estimated at about $17 billion. For the first time in CERN's history, the project has attracted private capital. A consortium that includes funds linked to DST Global founder Yuri Milner and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has pledged $1 billion.

CERN's member states are expected to make a final decision around 2028. The FCC would not start operations before 2040.
