- Researchers have successfully activated the world's smallest particle accelerator.
- It could revolutionize various applications, including the potential for miniature particle accelerators to be employed in medical treatments.
- The newly developed machine is known as a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA).
- It is a miniature technological marvel approximately the size of a small coin.
- This tiny accelerator relies on a small microchip housing a vacuum tube made up of thousands of individual "pillars."
- The 16.8-mile-long (27 KM) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
