The world’s most advanced particle accelerator is just 12 inches long and sits on a lab bench in the US

SLAC's plasma wakefield accelerator

'Go big or go home' might be the unofficial motto of the United States -- but in the case of the world's newest and most advanced particle accelerator, that's certainly not the case. The new plasma wakefield accelerator, constructed at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, is just 12 inches long -- or about 90,000 times smaller than CERN's 17-mile-long Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
