Stanford University's newly developed linear accelerator is only 3mm long

Researchers at Stanford University have published a new linear accelerator in today’s “Nature” magazine, not only smaller but also more powerful than their predecessors. Unlike the microwaves used in conventional accelerators, the new accelerator first accelerates electrons to near the speed of light through traditional techniques, then passes them through a laser-blind, disorderly-cut glass prism so that it can increase without increasing speed. Its energy.

In contrast to Stanford's more traditional linear accelerator center, the nanoridges in the prism allow the particles to interact asymmetrically with the laser and increase their energy levels by a factor of 10. Although the experiment was successful, there are still many ways to go before the technology is put into use.

As for the next step, researchers hope to create an extended version of the device, and it is expected to create greater acceleration benefits. Because the device has only a chip size, it may be applied in many aspects.

Researchers speculate that it can be used to create X-ray free-electron lasers or portable X-ray sources. If successful, healthcare workers can bring a portable device to detect fractures.
