- 1Particle Accelerators Could Cut Nuclear Waste Danger to Centuries▼Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Energy Lasts for 100,000 Years but Particle Accelerators Could Slash That Timeline to a Few Centuries
Scientists are highlighting a proposal to use particle accelerators to transmute long-lived radioactive waste from nuclear energy, potentially reducing its hazardous lifespan from around 100,000 years to just a few centuries. The idea, known as accelerator-driven transmutation, is being discussed as a way to ease one of nuclear power's biggest drawbacks: the need to store spent fuel safely for many millennia.
- 2Large Hadron Collider Shutdown Process Underway▼The Disconnection of the Large Hadron Collider Has Begun
Reports say the disconnection of the Large Hadron Collider has begun, marking the start of the machine being taken offline. The collider, based at CERN near Geneva, is the world's largest particle accelerator. Details on the reasons, scope or expected duration of the shutdown were not provided, and reactions from physicists or officials are not yet known.
- 3CERN begins disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider●Menurut saya dunia beruntung karena eropa masih peduli sama hal ini. CERN has begun disconnecting the Large Hadron Colli
CERN has started disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator near Geneva. The move is drawing reaction from science watchers, with one observer calling the world lucky that Europe still cares about fundamental research. Commenters see the shutdown as a significant moment for particle physics and are debating what comes next for European big science.

Brazil's CNPEM research centre and CERN are working together on magnet technology for a proposed 91-kilometre particle collider. The collaboration ties Brazilian scientific institutions into CERN's long-term plans for next-generation accelerator hardware, an area where magnet performance is a core technical challenge. The partnership highlights growing international participation in future collider projects.
