米兰ac体育 Acquires SuperPower Inc.

CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) announced the discovery of a new particle thought to be the Higgs particle. Superconducting wire materials supplied by 米兰ac体育 where used extensively and made significant contributions to the LHC particle accelerator used in the discovery.

Furukawa's technology contributed 米兰ac体育 discovery of the Higgs boson"Furukawa Here and There Special" (PDF 972KB)

Mr. Peter Higgs and Mr. Francois Engrail, who theoretically predicted the existence of a particle named the "Higgs boson" that gives a weight (mass) 米兰ac体育 substances, received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
