particle accelerators
Particle accelerators are powerful scientific machines that use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles, such as protons or electrons, to very high speeds. These accelerated particles are then collided or directed into targets to create new particles or study various fundamental properties of matter, unlocking insights into the building blocks of the universe.
