The LHC will be restarted in the next couple of months

LHC = Large Hadron Collider (CERN) It was down for 3 years for covid (1 year) and upgrades (2 years). The increase in power seems nominal but apparently, it's enough (from 6.5 Tev to 6.8 Tev) that the physicists are optimistic about there being new discoveries.

Following a three-year break of scheduled maintenance, upgrades and pandemic delays, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is preparing to power up for its third, and most powerful yet, experimental period. If all initial tests and checks starting this month go well, scientists will begin experiments in June and slowly ramp up to full power by the end of July, experts told Live Science.

The new run could finally reveal the long-sought "right-handed" versions of ghostly particles called neutrinos; find the elusive particles that make up dark matter, which exerts gravity but does not interact with light; and even help to explain why the universe exists at all.

Fun fact - If the Superconducting Super Collider had been built in TX, it would have delivered 40 Tev. Sigh. Penny pinching politicians.

But it would not be running cuz power grid of Texas.
