Inside , an extremely powerful laser strikes helium gas , heats it into a plasma and creates waves that kick electrons from the gas out in a high-energy electron beam . Particle accelerators hold great potential for semiconductor applications , medical imaging and therapy , and research in materials , energy and medicine . But conventional accelerators require plenty of elbow room â kilometers â making them expensive and limiting their presence to a handful
