Physicists report a record proton energy achieved with long-pulse lasers, accelerating particles by riding moving plasma waves. The result, reported by Phys.org, EurekAlert and Asia Research News, suggests a new route to compact, high-energy proton beams that could matter for particle physics and applications such as cancer therapy. Details on the research team and institutions remain limited in the available coverage.
