“We can generate multi-GeV electron beams, and rather than it taking a kilometer, it takes meters or less to get there,” says @LBNLatap Senior Scientist Jeroen van Tilborg on recent advancements in laser plasma accelerators. Details ⬇️. @DOEScience @ENERGY #ParticleAccelerators.
“We are applying our long-standing expertise in a type of advanced accelerator called laser plasma acceleration to shrink XFELs,” says our Staff Scientist, Sam Barber, on progress toward compact X-ray free-electron lasers. @doescience @ENERGY @BerkeleyLab.

In its second antimatter breakthrough this month, CERN announced it successfully created the first-ever antimatter qubit, paving the way to even weirder quantum experiments.
Creatively thinking, this cool fundamental science could lead to entangling two anti-matter #qubits and ultimately entangling a matter and anti-matter qubit, thus gaining more insight into fundamental particle physics says @BerkeleyLab 's Bert de Jong
