A new superconducting electrical transmission line for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider uses new materials, a new cooling system and unprecedented technologies. This superconducting line is the first of its kind and allows vast quantities of electrical current to be transported within a pipe of a relatively small diameter. Similar pipes could well be used in towns in the future. Find out more: https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/successful-tests-cooler-way-transport-electricity | C

14K views · 705 reactions | On 24 November 1959, CERN’s Proton Synchrotron became the highest-energy machine in the world when it accelerated a beam to its design energy of 24 GeV for the first time. Today, the Proton Synchrotron is still in operation, being one of the main cogs in the CERN accelerator complex.
