accelerators
Devices that quicken
Accelerators are devices or substances that speed things up.
A car's accelerator is the pedal that increases engine power.
In physics, a particle accelerator propels subatomic particles to high speeds for research.
In business, startup accelerators are programs that rapidly develop young companies through mentorship and funding: The company went through a twelve-week accelerator.
Chemical accelerators hasten reactions.
