The first and the most common one is a simple radio
The first particle accelerator was built more around the time of 1927 (resonance linear accelerator) about eight years after Rutherford first split the nucleus. But not too sure one that, I have other sources saying 1929, but definitely not as late as 1972. I do know that the first successful cyclotron (a type of circular particle accelerator, which was basically the ground work for the cynchrocyclotron spelling?) was built and tested in 1931 by Ernest Lawrence.
The atom smasher, also known as a particle accelerator, was developed by a team of physicists including John Cockroft and Ernest Walton in 1932. They built the first successful particle accelerator to split the atomic nucleus.
The first synthetic element made by a particle accelerator was technetium. Soviet scientists successfully synthesized technetium in 1937 using a cyclotron. Technetium is element 43 in the periodic table with the symbol Tc.
No, a particle accelerator cannot give you superpowers.
curium
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
curium
It is called the CERN accelerator complex. The complex consists of the following Particle accelerators: Linear accelerator I & II, Proton Synchrotron Booster, Low energy ring, Proton Synchrotron, Super proton snchrotron, and the Large Hadron Collider (as of Oct 18, 2009.)
