Deep underground, on the border between France and Switzerland, is a gigantic
scientific machine.
The Large Hadron Collider, spanning 100m underground, is a particle accelerator
used by physicists to study the smallest known particles, in the hope of better
understanding the universe.
Now Russian scientists plan to have a Hadron Collider as well.
While it will use 1000 times less energy that the European counterpart, the
Superconductive Cryogenic Nuclotron is a series of pipes used to propel atomic
particles at tremendous speed.
In seven years time this will be an integral part of Russia's Collider but the
project has some controversial international partners, North Korea and Cuba
among them.
