Todays largest particle accelerator is the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, a ring of magnets 26.7 kilometers 16.6 miles around. But plans exist for a Future Circular Collider, a 100-kilometer 62-mile behemoth with 10 times the energy of the Large Hadron Collider. The bigger collider requires bigger magnets, of course. In the class of superconductor accelerator magnets, we are very close to the limit for this kind of technology, Alexander Zlobin, a scientist at Fermilab, told Gizmodo. But we are also thinking about how to break this limit using new ideas. Particle colliders produce and detect the smallest units of matter, like quarks and bosons, by accelerating protons or entire atomic nuclei to nearly the speed of light and smashi

Probing for higher-mass particles requires both larger accelerators and magnets with stronger fields鈥攎agnets like the one Fermilab has just debuted.

There are two types of multiples: monozygotic identical or dizygotic fraternal . Dizygotic multiples occur when more than one fertilized egg becomes an embryo. Monozygotic multiples occur when the egg divides after fertilization, meaning that the multiples share the same DNA. Scientists dont really understand why the fertilized eggs鈥攃alled zygotes at this point鈥攄ecide to split, but it doesnt happen as often as two separate sperm fertilizing two separate eggs. For identical triplets to happen, that zygote needs to split two times

And yes, fertility treatments like in-vitro fertilization [IVF] have boosted the twin and triplet rate in countries like the US, but these are because multiple fertilized eggs are being implanted in the mothers uterus; theyre fraternal. Moms over 30 are also more likely to ovulate more than one egg, so more US mothers delaying parenthood is another reason for more twins and triplets. Again, though, fraternal. But we all know plenty of identical twins, right So why arent there more identical triplets Rachel Feltman at the Washington Post explai

Fraternal twins might, if the women in a particular family share some genetic trait that makes them more likely to release two eggs during an ovulation cycle instead of one. But for now, theres no evidence of a genetic predisposition
