This animation shows the proposed design of a future device for X-ray therapy, which researchers hope will be able to deliver radiation powerful enough to blast cancer cells in under a second instead of minutes.
FACET-II is the only facility in the world capable of providing high-energy electron and positron beams for researching a vast array of revolutionary accelerator technologies that could shrink future accelerators by factors of 100 to 1,000 and sharpen their capabilities.
