Tiny Coin-Sized Particle Accelerator Activated, 54 Million Times Smaller than CERN's
TL;DR Summary
Physicists at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen–Nuremberg (FAU) in Germany have developed a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA), which is the world's tiniest particle accelerator. Roughly the size of a small coin, this miniature accelerator has successfully demonstrated practical operation, offering a potential solution to the space constraints of traditional particle accelerators.
