  10. Compact Electron Accelerator For The Treatment Of PFAS-Contaminated Water 1/22/2026

    So-called perpetual chemicals, or PFAS compounds, are a growing environmental problem. An innovative approach for treating water and soil in PFAS-contaminated areas now comes from accelerator physics: High-energy electrons can break down PFAS molecules into harmless components through radiolysis. A study published in PLOS One shows that an accelerator developed at HZB, based on an SHF photoinjector, can provide the necessary electron beam.
