New Era in Health & Space


Researchers are exploring the world’s most powerful laser, which is now functional in a research center in Romania. The equipment holds the potential to bring about significant advancements in various fields, including space exploration and health.

The French technology company Thales uses ideas that have won Nobel prizes to run the laser at the European Union’s Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) center, located close to Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

The equipment at ELI produces the shortest and strongest laser pulses the world has ever seen by amplifying, compressing, and extending an extremely brief laser pulse over time. This has helped researchers overcome a crucial limitation with lasers: boosting power while keeping the intensity safe.

The technology has already been used in corrective eye surgery, but it has also made it possible for researchers to keep increasing the power of lasers.     READ MORE...
