Researchers have successfully activated the world's smallest particle accelerator, called a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA). It uses miniature laser beams to accelerate electrons, marking a departure from traditional particle accelerator technology. In a recent study, researchers reported a 43% increase in energy using the NEA. The goal is to develop miniature accelerators for precise medical treatments, such as administering radiotherapy directly to affected areas in the body.
