Physicists have developed miniature particle accelerators the size of a coin that use lasers to accelerate and control electron beams. Although less powerful than their larger counterparts such as the LHC, these compact accelerators show promise for medical applications such as cancer treatment and technological advances such as quantum computing. Despite limitations in power and efficiency, these innovations represent a significant step towards miniaturising powerful technologies with transformative potential for various fields in the future.
