Atom Smasher
A particle accelerator is a machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to very high speeds and energies, and to contain them in well-defined beams. Large accelerators are used for fundamental research in particle physics. The largest accelerator currently active is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, operated by the CERN. It is a collider accelerator, which can accelerate two beams of protons to an energy of 6.5 TeV and cause them to collide head-on, creating center-of-mass energies of 13 TeV. Other powerful accelerators are, RHIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York and, formerly, the Tevatron at Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois. Accelerators are also used as synchrotron light sources for the study of condensed matter physics. Smaller particle accelerators are used in a wide variety of applications, including particle therapy for oncological purposes, radioisotope production for medical diagnostics, i ...

Atom-Smasher (Marvel Comics)
Iron Man has a large range of villains. They each have specific abilities which they use against Tony Stark. While these enemies include major independent operators such as Mandarin and Doctor Doom, many of the more minor foes, especially those equipped with extremely advanced weaponry, are mercenaries of Justin Hammer. This is a list of them in alphabetical order: A * Absynthe - In her digitalized form, Absynthe is a computer virus capable of infiltrating Tony's Stark armor. * Actor - A man who could impersonate anyone he saw. * Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.) - An organization of scientists dedicated to the acquisition of power and the overthrow of all governments through a technological revolution. The group is often led by the conniving man-mind MODOK. * Arsenal - A doomsday robot built by Iron Man's father, Howard Stark. * Arno Stark - Arno is the brother of Tony Stark and birth son of Howard and Maria Stark. He wore the Iron Man 2020 armor. * Artax - A man who worked for Sta ...

Albert Rothstein
Albert Rothstein (known by the aliases Nuklon and Atom Smasher) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Atom Smasher is known for his power of growth and super strength. The character made its live-action debut in ''The Flash'', played by Adam Copeland. The character appears in the DC Extended Universe film '' Black Adam'' (2022), played by Noah Centineo. Publication history Created by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway, he first appeared in '' The All-Star Squadron'' #25 (September 1983). Thomas chose his name as a tribute to his friend and fellow comic book fan Allan Rothstein. Fictional character biography Origin The godson of Al Pratt, the Golden Age Atom, Albert Rothstein acquired his metahuman powers of super strength and control over his molecular structure, allowing him to alter the size and density of his body, from his grandfather, a reluctant supervillain known as Cyclotron. This allowed him to fight crime first as Nuklon, and then, later, ...

Westinghouse Atom Smasher
The Westinghouse Atom Smasher was a 5 million volt Van de Graaff electrostatic nuclear accelerator operated by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation at their Research Laboratories in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania. It was instrumental in the development in practical applications of nuclear science for energy production. In particular, it was used in 1940 to discover the photofission of uranium and thorium, and was most cited for certain nuclear physics measurements. It was the first industrial Van de Graaff generator in the world, and marked the beginning of nuclear research for civilian applications. Built in 1937, it was a pear-shaped tower. It went dormant in 1958. In 1985, it was named an Electrical Engineering Milestone by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. How it worked In a Van de Graaff generator, invented in 1929 by Robert J. Van de Graaff, an endless rubber or fabric belt carries electric charges from a roller at the base of the device and d ...
