SUPERCOLLIDER 2020 RECAP

A Super Collider is a physics term of a collider in which superconducting magnets are used to accelerate particles to energies of millions of megavolts. Like its namesake, KY NSF EPSCoR’s SuperCollider promotes accelerating of ideas, the attraction of researchers from across the state, thus producing the megavolts necessary to advance manufacturing in Kentucky. On …
