Accelerating things. For example, proton accelerators accelerate protons. In high energy physics, this is generally done so that you can then smash the accelerated things into other things and see what happens. The Large Hadron Collider will take two accelerated beams of hadrons (protons, again, at least for now) going in opposite directions and slam them together in a nearly head-on collision; it's like a subatomic demolition derby.

Name three particle accelerators in the US and describe the type of experiments each accelerator is designed to perform?
Examples of three particle accelerators in the US are the isochronous cyclotron, alternating gradient synchrotron and a calutron. An isochronous cyclotron is used for proton therapy. An alternating gradient synchrotron is used to inject heavy ions, and a calutron was used to separate isotopes for the Manhattan project,
How does a vacuum use magnets?
A vacuum does not 'use' magnets. However magnets and a vacuum are used in conjunction in several applications. particle accelerators for example.
How do particle accelerators work?
They accelerate particles using magnets. Once going at speed close to the speed of light, particles smash into each other. Accelerators are used to examine the properties of subatomic particles. There is an accelerator in Chicago called Fermilab, and another, larger on in Europe. See the large hadron collider for more info on current accelerators.
Is there any proof that antimatter exists?
Yes. Antiparticles are regularly produced and observed in particle accelerators.
A machine used for making sub-atomic particles move faster?
Particle accelerators function to propel subatomic particles. They use electromagnetic fields to make the particles move at a faster speed, and to arrange them into beams.
A devise used for measuring mass?
accelerators
What is the use of accelerator?
to increase the efficiency of the car accelerators are used
How does a car have three accelerators?
no u div, brake, clutch and accelerators
What are particle accelerators also called?
Particle accelerators are also known as atom smashers
How large are particle accelerators?
Small particle accelerators can sit on a desktop, large circular ones can be miles across
Linear particle accelerators are also known as what?
A linac, which is a foreshortening of linear accelerator, is sometimes used to refer to that device.
How do magnets help?
They can move heavy things, can be used as brakes and accelerators, read credit cards, and separate compounds.
What has the author Robert R Wilson written?
Robert R. Wilson has written: 'Particle accelerators' -- subject(s): Particle accelerators
Where did lawrencium come from?
Lawrencium is obtained by nuclear reactions in linear accelerators.

When were Particle accelerators first developed?
Particle accelerators were first developed by John D. Cockcroft and Ernest T. S. Walton in 1932
How do we make artificial elements?
In particle accelerators.
