The device consists of a small microchip that houses an even smaller vacuum tube made up of thousands of individual pillars. Researchers can accelerate electrons by firing mini laser beams at these pillars. The main goal of creating these devices is to use the energy given off by the accelerated electrons in targeted medical treatments that can replace damaging forms of radiotherapy.
A new method for 3D printing metal developed by a team led by the University of Cambridge allows structural alterations to be written into metal alloys during 3D printing.
