Physicists’ breakthrough method creates most intense light ever generated in lab
SMRTR summary
Physicists have created the most intense light ever generated in a lab by combining two advanced techniques using the Gemini laser. They compressed light pulses off plasma mirrors moving at near-light speeds, then focused the resulting high-energy waves into a single microscopic point. Published in *Nature*, this breakthrough closes a 20-year gap between theory and experiment, offering a clearer way to study how light and matter interact at the most fundamental level.
