Cornell Synchrotron Center

This is a nice, brief history of Cornell's synchrotron research lab and efforts, which has been at the forefront in not only synchrotron physics, but also the early efforts of experimental particle physics.

Still, what's wrong with this picture?

A synchrotron is a device that uses a magnetic field to accelerate particles (e.g. electrons) at faster and faster speeds by boosting their energies as they travel around the ring.

I guess they meant electromagnetic fields, since I'm sure we all know that magnetic fields can't accelerate charged particles.
