World’s Smallest Particle Accelerator Developed

Scientists have successfully activated the world’s smallest particle accelerator, which is 54-million times smaller than the Hadron Collider and can fit on a coin. This nanophotonic electron accelerator consists of a microchip and a vacuum tube composed of numerous pillars. By firing a laser through this device, researchers can effectively operate the particle accelerator. The potential applications of this technology are vast, with a dream scenario being the ability to administer radiotherapy directly to affected areas within the body using an endoscope.
