FSU scientist nets $1M grant to advance particle accelerator research

When you think particle accelerator, you think big. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, for example, spans two countries, features a tunnel more than 16 miles (27 km) long, employs thousands of scientists and requires a budget of $1 billion a year. Turns out, particle accelerators need not be so massive. In fact, proton-smashing technologies initially developed […]
