UM-Bot Posted May 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Scientists in Romania have built the world's most powerful laser with an output of over 10 petawatts. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/327578/real-life-death-star-laser-vaporizes-matter 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnicolette Posted May 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2019 This reminds me of the tale that i heard long ago of people who were able to form sturdy underground habitations by vitrifying tunnels. I always thought it was a wonderful idea and i wish that this would be used for such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdbuilder Posted May 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2019 "There are even plans to build an even more powerful laser at another location in the future." I suppose development and testing facilities get pretty trashed after a while... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+joc Posted May 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It is just amazing stuff. The building and everything in it ...actually the whole entire property is designed for the lasers. I think the construction of the building is actually more interesting than the lasers inside of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_mc Posted May 11, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Wow, "one of the research targets is the forming of heavy elements, like gold, platinum, uranium." Just before, the same person is talking about reaching the power of supernova explosions. That doesn't completely add up I think, supernova explosions "only" form elements like carbon and iron. As far as I know, you need power like when two neutron stars are colliding to form gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
