Scientists have created the world's first nanophotonic electron accelerator, which speeds negatively charged particles with mini laser pulses and is small enough to fit on a coin.
It’s interesting that people only really became aware of particle accelerators in the LHC sense. CRT televisions are also particle accelerators. It’s nothing too super new.

Around 1930 they had a particular accelarator at Berkeley called the Cyclotron…they had the coolest names back then
Berkeley still has a cyclotron, though it’s a little newer (build in the 60’s) and much bigger.
