Accelerated particles are used to generate radioactive materials and strong bursts of radiation, which are crucial for healthcare processes such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, and CT scans.<\/p>\n<p>The typical downside to accelerators is that they tend to be bulky, complex to run, and often prohibitively expensive. The LHC represents a pinnacle of experimental physics, but it is 27 kilometers (17 miles) in circumference and costs <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/home.cern\/sites\/home.web.cern.ch\/files\/2018-07\/factsandfigures-en_0.pdf\">6.5 billion Swiss francs (\u00a35.2 billion)<\/a> to build and test. The accelerators currently installed in select hospitals are smaller and cheaper, but they still cost tens of millions of pounds and require 400x400m of space for installation. As such, only large regional hospitals can afford the money and the space to host a radiotherapy department.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Read:\u00a0<span dir=\"auto\">How do you build a pet-friendly gadget?

The higher the power, the shorter time and distance it takes to accelerate particles, and this leads to smaller, cheaper accelerators.<\/p>\n<p>Our accelerator uses powerful lasers to \u201cshake\u201d the plasmas it contains, moving their particles about in a way that creates waves. It\u2019s a little like the wake left behind by a boat (the laser) on a lake (the plasma). Like a surfer, a beam placed on one of these waves can then be pushed forward by it, constantly accelerating. These waves within plasmas are very small (sub-millimeter) and very powerful, which is what allows the overall accelerator to be extremely small.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plasma_perks\"><\/span>Plasma perks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Plasma-based particle accelerators like ours will need 100 times less space than existing designs, reducing the space required for installation from 400x400m to just 40x40m.
