- 1Protons hit record energy riding moving laser-driven waves▼Protons ride moving waves to reach record energy with long-pulse lasers
Researchers report that protons accelerated by long-pulse lasers have reached record energies by riding moving plasma waves, a technique that boosts acceleration efficiency. The finding, covered by Phys.org, EurekAlert and Asia Research News, could advance compact particle accelerators for research, medicine and industry, though detailed results and institutional involvement remain limited to the press releases circulating so far.
