Non-scientist here - do existing colliders like the LHC become useless, or can they still be used to make new scientific discoveries?

Too bad we can't set up a cosmic particle accelerator to test this!

Genuine question from ignorance. Is this related to this work at CERN? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/23/large-hadron...

Something like the large hadron collider?

No new particles means that we're going to need a bigger accelerator.
