Not sure what they're on about BUT.. The US Department of Energy's particle physics budget is only about the price of one coffee per American per year. With that, the US has helped discover the majority of the Standard Model's particles, most on US soil.

In the FCC study we work on disruptive technologies for the benefit of the society. Conceiving a method to convert pure information, bits and bytes through interaction with your mobile banking application to create actual, tangible matter. First results are promising as can be seen in the image.

Honored to be UTK’s second Cottrell Scholar (after @tovaholmes.bsky.social!). I’ll work on accelerator projects towards a future muon collider and developing support structures for students transferring from community college (as I did) who face unique challenges in physics programs (as I also did!)

We usually get very few American applicants in EU unis (zero again, so far), but maybe at this moment in time it's a nice opportunity?
Deadline is flexible.
