NEWPORT NEWS, VA - A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron – a mashup of the words ...
Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...
Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) provide a compact and cost-effective solution to this problem by driving accelerator nanostructures with visible or near-infrared (NIR) pulsed lasers, resulting in ...
Booster shot: a section of an accelerator-on-a-chip. The grey structures focus infrared laser light (shown in yellow and purple) on electrons flowing through the centre channel. The structure is about ...
