At 99.997% of the speed of light, these waves generate electrical fields of billions of electron volts in just a few meters. This means that table-top particle accelerators might be possible, which in turn offers the promise that R&D and medical applications of accelerators (which at present are miles long) might be more readily available. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago tags light waves accelerator physics |
