The laser will be 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor and is said to “herald a new era of science”

underground, near Stanford University, a laser is being completed, which could fundamentally change the study of the building blocks of the universe.

The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) will be the second world-class X-ray laser on US Department of Energy SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, reports CNET. The associated tunnel extends over 3 kilometers .

and a beam 10,000 times brighter than that of its predecessor. For comparison, this generated a beam with 120 light pulses per second.

, research associate at SLAC. It is “capable of pulses down to a

femtosecond . A femtosecond is equal to one second as one second is to the age of the universe”. According to Cryan, the laser will pulse so rapidly that it will make previously impossible experiments possible.

Molecular Blockbusters

Scientist *inside from almost all scientific fields have traveled from all over the world to carry out their experiments with the first LCLS. Their molecular films have shown, among other things, chemical reactions in real time, demonstrated the behavior of atoms inside stars and produced live snapshots of the process of photosynthesis.

, designed to operate at 2 degrees above absolute zero. They are kept at operating temperature by a massive cryogenic facility above ground.

Považujete obezitu za chorobu? Skôr ako chorobu ju vnímam ako následok alebo prejav. Podobne ako keď máte artrózu v bedrovom kĺbe. Obmedzuje vás v pohybe, v bežnom živote a bolí. Obezita je niečo ako tá bolesť. A rovnako ako pri artróze neriešite príčinu, ale následok, teda bolesť a obmedzenie v pohybe. Primárne teda obezitu považujem…

These vendors initially opposed the scheme, called Open RAN, because they believed that if implemented, it would damage—if not destroy—their existing business model. But faced with the collective power of the operators clamoring for a new way to build wireless networks, these vendors have been left with few options, none of them very appealing. Some…
