摘要：

Particle accelerators are an essential tool for exploring fundamental physics. Conventional accelerators need to be huge, because the accelerating voltage they apply is limited to about ten million volts per metre. But a way to achieve much higher voltages has been demonstrated, using a laser to generate plasma waves. The ‘table-top’ accelerator is a step closer to reality.
