Japan will participate in a U.S. project to build a large electron-ion collider (EIC), a particle accelerator capable of observing the world at the level of one trillionth of a millimeter, it has been learned.
The EIC is expected to shed new light on the physical laws governing the subatomic world and contribute to the practical application of advanced technologies such as quantum computers.
The Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry plans to announce soon its intention to participate in the plan, with the goal of starting operations in 2032.
