Horribly written article such that by the time you get to the achievement , it seems underwhelming.
Here’s what I take from the article and it looks like a much bigger deal without the hyperbole and misdirection:
Team figured out a way to achieve much higher energy in an accelerator, sufficient to shrink a 10GeV accelerator from 2 miles to 66 feet
Thanks for that summary! Definitely an incredible achievement. 66ft could fit inside a lab, instead of inside a huge property. Hopefully democratizes particle accelerator research a tiny bit.
So now I can make antiprotons in my own back yard?
22 yards to be exact
source does seem like an seo clickbait factory. Something to do with getting headlines into google news helps pay their bills I hope. Hopefully my script dodging adblock strategy kicks them in the shins. ‘Our Team’ seems plausible: https://www.sciencealert.com/our-team I’m pretty numb to writing styles as long as I can skim subjects and verbs. off topic: have an account on stop.voring.me and sometimes post from there. cat people hate it, haha comments: https://lemmy.world/post/8991421
Thanks for your service.
But I gotta say, that’s an awesome piece of news!
“tiny” appears to be a relative term, came here expecting a pocket accelerator and was disappointed!
