    • The Large Hadron Collider in a tunnel below the French and Swiss Alps recreates the conditions that existed just after the Big Bang. Not surprisingly, its construction posed numerous technical problems, and the engineers had to overcome many obstacles. It took them 2.5 decades to realize their dream of building the world's largest particle accelerator - a device which sends particles \(very small pieces of matter\) at high speeds using electromagnetic fields.
    • The International Space Station \(ISS\) is a laboratory 350 km above Earth. Understandably, numerous difficulties were encountered during its construction. One major problem the engineers had to tackle was the fact that no rocket was powerful enough to launch the completed station in one go. They came up with the solution of sending completed sections of the ISS one at a time and constructing the station in space.
    • The construction of the ancient city of Teotihuacan in Mexico was an outstanding achievement. It presented numerous challenges and entailed a massive physical effort, as the city was built by hand before the invention of the wheel and at a hight of nearly 3,000 metres.
