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.

Are particle accelerators the same as super colliders?

Sort of. Particle accelerators are anything that take particles (usually electrons or protons) and accelerate them to high speeds. Super colliders are really powerful particle accelerators along with a bunch of equipment to measure what happens when the particles collide. So when someone talks about a particle accelerator, they're usually talking about colliders. But there are lots of things that are particle accelerators that aren't colliders. The old CRT computer monitors (heavy ones that are about as deep as they are wide) accelerate electrons and shoot them into the glass plate in front to make light, so there's a particle accelerator inside.

Which is the best example of a scientific discovery resulting from new technology?

One of the best examples of a scientific discovery resulting from new technology is the discovery of the Higgs boson particle. This elusive particle, which gives mass to other particles, was confirmed in 2012 by experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC's advanced technology allowed scientists to collide protons at unprecedented energies, resulting in the conditions needed to detect the Higgs boson. This discovery not only confirmed a key aspect of the Standard Model of particle physics but also showcased how technological advancements can drive groundbreaking scientific exploration.
