China wants to become a leader in physics by building the largest particle accelerator.
It will be a 100 km long circular positron accelerator and will be called the Circular Electron Positron Collider. With the measurements that will be taken, it will be possible to answer questions about the creation of the universe. Specifically, it will smash electrons and positrons at extremely high speeds to create bosons.
If approved by the government, construction will begin in 2027 and be completed 10 years later. Its cost is estimated at 5 billion US dollars.
