🤩 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory runs a linear particle accelerator. Today, scientists and engineers at SLAC use the accelerator to generate a very powerful X-ray laser. Such a refined X-ray light beam is used to penetrate deep into matter at the molecular and atomic level, and allows scientists to produce "movies" of the behavior of these atoms and molecules. Generally it's very difficult to look at atoms and see how they behave and that's why SLAC built this X-ray laser. Technically it'

#DidYouKnow linear accelerators are at the very core of CERN's accelerator chain, as the main source for ion and proton beams? 🎁As a treat for the holidays, you can now build your very own linear particle accelerator model! Instructions: https://scoollab.web.cern.ch/linac3D | CERN

Here's an updated "Accelerator" animation. The lighting is all from the particles themselves now. I even think it loops a little better. LMK what you think. #Blender3d #blender #blenderanimation #blenderart #cycles #motiongraphics #mographics #mograph | Digital Blasphemy
