High-energy physics aims to discover the origins of the universe by recreating the first stages of matter after the Big Bang. This journey back in time is made possible by accelerating and then colliding particles in accelerator-colliders, huge microscopes with very high resolution. The greater the energy, the closer we get to the origins of the universe. Superconductivity soon proved extremely useful, and often indispensable, in these gigantic instruments,...
