This is the story of how particle accelerators got bigger and more powerful, and how they’ve been crucial to our understanding of the most fundamental structures and interactions in our universe.

But no one is aiming to use a coin-sized accelerator to explore the mysteries of particle physics. The statement from FAU notes that medical applications are top of mind.

Most particle accelerators today use large metal structures and radio-frequency waves to push particles forward. This traditional setup limits the size and increases the expense of building these ...

Recent advancements in particle acceleration technology have led to the discovery of a new method that promises to ...
