The Latest in Particle Accelerator Technology

Particle accelerators are essentially microscopes that make the tiniest objects visible. They are scientific devices that are used to accelerate protons, electrons and other particles, and make them collide for the purpose of studying physical phenomena. Large-scale particle accelerators around the world are being upgraded and we'll find out what new physical phenomena the scientists are investigating. Particle accelerators are also being used to analyze the structure of materials on an atomic level and we'll introduce some products that were made with the data they provided. We'll also see how it has the potential to change medical treatments. A next-generation cancer treatment that can selectively destroy cancer cells without damaging healthy cells may soon be realized with a new kind of particle accelerator. Join us as we learn about a device that is changing our future!
