A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. Here's how Jefferson Lab is collaborating with private-sector firms and universities to develop efficient, scalable and low-cost magnetron systems that can drive a compact – and possibly portable – particle accelerator. The work could enable industrial uses for these research machines that include water treatment, chemical fabrication and security.

This is just one more step towards my dream of having a particle accelerator in my pocket. Imagine a world where we can fit a particle accelerator in our phones //(sarcastic)
