Summary
A new era is emerging for collision experiments in particle physics. Researchers are currently developing a new technology that could one day replace large accelerator facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): Plasma acceleration, in which particles ride a wave to "fuel" energy for the collision.
