Revolutionary Laser Technology: Supercharging Lasers by a Million Times with Plasma Pulse Compression

Scientists from the UK and South Korea have developed a new technique to compress light, resulting in laser pulses that are 1,000 times stronger than current capabilities. By utilizing the density gradient of plasma, the researchers were able to cause photons to bunch together, significantly increasing laser power. This breakthrough could lead to important discoveries about the nature of matter and has the potential to enhance laser technology by over a million times its current capacity.
