Eli5: What advancements have been made as a direct result of the use of particle accelerators?

910 viewsOtherPhysics

I recently saw a Cleo Abrams video about particle accelerators and the lead scientist said that they use particle accelerators to create the building blocks for future innovations.

I’m sure advancements have been made only because particle accelerators exist but I don’t know any. Can someone highlight a direct influence particle accelerators have on our daily lives?

I don’t know about advancements but not super powers because the guy who took a shot to the head survived but lost hearing in one ear, paralyzed nerves, and occasional seizures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski?wprov=sfti1
