Tiny Glass Chip Accelerators Pack the Punch of Huge Mile-Long Instruments

A new advance in accelerator technology has scientists creating tiny glass chips smaller than a grain of rice that can power electrons up to speeds 10 times faster than present-day conventional technology.

Experts from Stanford University and U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator detailed their glass chip accelerator research in a study in the journal Nature. The researchers reveal that they are able to achieve such incredible acceleration in such small distances by using commercial lasers to speed up the electrons instead of microwaves, which are typically used.

These new chips offer an unprecedented level of acceleration, clocking in 300 million electronvolts per meter. By comparison, that's around 10 times the acceleration of the SLAC linear accelerator, which requires two miles to achieve what the tiny chip accelerators can do in 100 feet.

Ah,,,,, Took them this long to reverse-engineer the alien stuff.

60 years ain’t bad.

Not bad at all.

“Ah,,,,, Took them this long to reverse-engineer the alien stuff.”

No, it took this long for the ‘shadow government’ from the ‘breakaway civilization’ to overrule ‘MJ-12’ (which is controlled by the REPTILIANS, as we all know) and release it.

Any other questions?

If this is true, it is very big stuff. Big as the laser. Big as the transistor.

Good, maybe they will warp us back into the normal dimension. This parallel dimension where the U.S. spies on it’s own citizens and Russia lectures us about freedom has got to go.

The right reaction will yield prestidigitate without excess mental energy.
