Particle Accelerator Produced On Microchip Scale
Can particle accelerators that pursue the secrets of the universe be used to treat diseases such as cancer one day? The answer to this question can be given as “no! Ğ given the size of today’s particle accelerators. The SLAC accelerator is 3.2 km long and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has a length of up to 27 km. The researchers at Stanford University and SLAC, who believe that this challenge can be overcome, have tried to reduce particle accelerator technology to a computer chip scale and have succeeded in this....
