The magnets that keep the ions in their paths are superconducting [...] facility will have the unique ability to provide particle beams of all the chemical elements (or their ions), as well as antiprotons. The particles will be accelerated to almost the speed of light in the FAIR [...] FAIR facility is that exotic particles can be produced in a targeted manner. When the accelerated ions impact a material sample, antiprotons or special isotopes, for example, are produced at two so-called
