# Particle Accelerators Decease In Size And Cost

![Default Futurism featured image](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Futurism-Filler-Image.jpg>)

- Scientists working at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US have taken a step forward in developing a technology which could significantly reduce the size of particle accelerators to just 30 cm in length
- The new compact particle accelerator can accelerate particles hundreds of times quicker than the Large Hadron Collider
- Because of its small size, this new particle accelerator will be much cheaper than other available accelerators
