A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive research sites. In this case, the light produced fell in the extreme ...

Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step toward miniaturization of particle accelerators by demonstrating free-electron laser amplification at extreme ultraviolet ...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that a laser-plasma accelerator can reliably drive a free-electron laser ...

Combining the industry’s most compact cyclotron with an upright positioning system creates a proton therapy system small enough to fit into a linac vault ...

Click to open image viewer. This low power neutral particle beam (NPB) accelerator developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory was one of several directed energy weapons investigated by the Strategic ...

FELs require a bright and stable source of high-energy electron bunches, so today’s facilities are driven by large and ...

Boron neutron capture therapy is being used in Japan to target and treat head and neck tumours. Many other countries are now building facilities. In 2020, Japan became the first country to approve ...
