This cutaway computer model shows ITER with plasma at its core. A technician (bottom left) is shown to demonstrate the machine’s size. ITER is an international effort to build the largest experimental fusion tokamak in the world, a critical step toward future fusion power plants. The European Union, India, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, and United States are collaborating on the project, which is currently under construction in southern France.

A general-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It has a broad physics program ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. Although it has the same scientific goals as the ATLAS experiment, it uses different technical solutions and a different magnet-system design.
