TOSome of the 1232 dipole magnets that bend the path of accelerated protons are pictured in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in a tunnel of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), during maintenance works on February 6, 2020 in Echenevex, France, near Geneva. Six years after the historic discovery of the Higgs boson, the world's largest particle accelerator is taking a break to boost its power, hoping to find new particles that would explain, among other things, dark matter, one of the great enigmas of the Universe.
