"Since the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded this week to three Japanese-born researchers, it seems like Japan has gone particle-physics crazy, or at least the Japanese government has. So much so that Japan now wants to host the next big experiment in particle physics — the International Linear Collider (ILC)..."
"...The panel did recommend that more could be done to protect funding for particle physics and astronomy. In particular it suggested that the council appeal to the government for additional funding for particle physics and astronomy to "avoid the undesired tensioning of these grants and facilities support against national facilities"..."
"The field is healthy, says Bill Wakeham, but scientists need to reclaim the intellectual ownership of research at the margins of the discipline such as medical or atmospheric physics..."
"... That echoed the MPs' report, which said that pulling out of projects such as the International Linear Collider, a next-generation atom-smasher that would succeed the Large Hadron Collider, had made Britain appear to be an “unreliable and incompetent” international partner..."
"...It will be intriguing to think what my successor in 20 years’ time — assuming that Physics World still exists — will make of this status report. By then, practical quantum computers could well be used for research and high-temperature superconductors will be common in power cables. The International Linear Collider is likely to be up and running, and fusion power should be nearing as a commercial reality..."
"Actualmente ya se está trabajando en otro multimillonario proyecto europeo, para construir el Colisionador Lineal Internacional (International Linear Collider (ILC)) que opera con principios similares al LHC. Pero así como éste esta diseñado para 'descubrir' y abrir nuevas áreas de la Física, el ILC será diseñado para explorar detalladamente los descubrimientos que haga el LHC..."
