CERN is revoking access for 500 Russian scientists over the Ukraine war, cutting them off from key facilities. But experts say the move is a major setback for Russian science, and is fueling brain drain. download the app Email address Sign up By clicking “Sign Up”, you accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . Pierre Albouy/ReutersTriggering a Russian brain drainScientific experts, including several with working ties to CERN, spoke about the consequences to Russia and the wider scientific community.

CERN's new supercollider will be 8 times more powerful than the LHC, the largest and most powerful in the world. Particle physics research will need a major upgrade to begin exploring that mysterious 95%, made up of dark matter and dark energy. CERN, the European Council for Nuclear Research, is designing a new supercollider called the Future Circular Collider (FCC) to push the boundaries of modern physics research and perhaps discover the true nature of our mostly invisible universe. Together, these two colliders could usher in a new frontier of physics research. Breaking new groundCERN plans to build the 56-mile-long FCC tunnel beneath France and Switzerland, encircling the city of Geneva.

The Volvo logo is seen in truck for sale in Linden, New Jersey, U.S., May 23, 2022. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsMOSCOW, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Swedish truck maker Volvo AB's Russian assets (VOLVb.ST) have been transferred to an undisclosed Russian investor, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said in a statement. Volvo suspended all sales, service and production in Russia in February 2022, and said last October that further write-downs might be necessary. In 2021, Russia accounted for about 3% of its net group sales of about 372 billion Swedish crowns ($33.4 billion). The invasion triggered a host of Western economic sanctions, and threats by Russia to seize Western businesses based there.

Anna Rose Layden/Pool via REUTERSWASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Senator Marco Rubio on Tuesday asked the Biden administration to review Ford Motor's (F.N) deal to use technology from Chinese battery company CATL (300750.SZ) as part of the automaker's plan to spend $3.5 billion to build a battery plant in Michigan. The $430 billion IRA imposes restrictions on battery sourcing and is designed to wean the United States off the Chinese supply chain for electric vehicles (EVs). Treasury declined to comment, but Granholm said on Twitter on Monday that "bringing advanced manufacturing capabilities from overseas to the United States is key to our competitiveness, will stimulate our economy, and create good-paying American jobs." Ford said the plant would create 2,500 jobs and begin producing lower cost and faster recharging lithium-iron-phosphate batteries in 2026. Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise tweeted criticism of the Ford deal, while Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said last month that his state had withdrawn from the competition to attract the Ford plant over concern's about China's potential involvement.

Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterHe did not say when the modernised weapon will enter service, saying only that it is in the design documentation stage. The AK-12 assault rifle developed by Kalashnikov, the general issue weapon of the Russian armed forces, has a caliber of 5.45 millimetres (mm) and an improved accuracy over its earlier versions, among others. The Kalashnikov arms maker was sanctioned by the United States in 2014, the year Russia invaded and annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
