Scientists discover path to ‘extreme light intensity’ enabling super-powerful laser weapons and advanced technology

by
Powerful laser with extreme light intensity

An international team of physicists has announced a “significant advance” in laser science that provides engineers with a practical path to extreme light intensities that can dramatically increase the intensity of high-power laser light. The team of physicists behind this breakthrough suggested that ultra-powerful lasers created using their approach could allow scientists to probe fundamental … Read more

climate model chart

The world is warming and a new study warns that almost a third of people could face the double whammy of heatwaves and drought five times more often by the 2090s. Researchers in Germany and China investigated combined hot and dry extremes, where severe droughts and intense heat waves occur simultaneously in the same place. … Read more

Scientists Reveal How Ocean Waves Would Behave On Alien Worlds Under Extreme Conditions Across The Solar System

Waves are one of the most well-known features. earth’s oceansshaped by wind, gravity, and the properties of water itself. But outside of Earth, the oceans may be made of methane, gravity may pull with a different force, and the same waves may behave in ways that challenge everything scientists expect. New research published in Geophysical … Read more
