Caption

Experts at Berkeley Lab have finished winding more than 2000 kilometers of superconducting wire into cables that will be used to make new magnets for the Large Hadron Collider. When installed at the LHC, the focusing magnets will condense the particle beams and increase the number of collisions - helping researchers search for rare phenomena and new physics.
