Abstract

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE was a type of particle accelerator so popular that it was mass-produced by the million. Engineers and scientists at their benches, and folks at home in their living rooms, would carefully arrange themselves to watch the dancing glow of a beam of subatomic particles smashing into a phosphorescent screen. This attention-hogging accelerator was, of course, the cathode-ray tube (CRT), which reigned supreme as the electronic display technology for decades, before being unceremoniously relegated to the figurative and literal trash heap of history by flat-screen technologies.
