Scientists have created the world's first nanophotonic electron accelerator, which speeds negatively charged particles with mini laser pulses and is small enough to fit on a coin.

    Large Hadron Collider is also a cool name. Are there newer accelerators with uncool names, like “TD Bank Accelerator”?

      Yeah, but that’s just what it is and does. What’s it do? Collide. What’s it collide? Hadrons. How big is it? Large.

      I like the Cyclotron so much better. What does it do? I don’t fukken know, but it sounds cool as shit

        Well, it’s like the Terminator. What does it do? It terminates. Still a cool name.

      I will always read its name as “Large Hardon Collider”. Could be its porn name.
