Science Tech: LASERS!!!!!

The world’s most powerful laser has been created and can melt probably about anything, heating objects up to ~2 MILLION degrees! In one test they were even able to create actual plasma (well heated to plasma degree levels) out of a piece of aluminum foil….now that’s hot! Primarily its going to be used to “understand the most extreme matter found in the hearts of stars and giant planets, and could help experiments aimed at recreating the nuclear fusion process that powers the sun.” Hopefully, in some way, this will help create a universal/infinite energy source.

For more info on the project, as well as an explanation on how it works follow the link!
