Laser. We have captured our imaginations for decades and even if it is in the heart of one of the most beloved films of Austin Powers, Dr. Evil gags. Now a team of researchers at Osaka University in Japan, with small planets do not take it for the first time in the history of the world's most powerful laser claims to have introduced ... and thank God.

Researchers laser "focus on the energy equivalent of 1,000 times the cost of electricity to the spot and entered the record books as the laser beam emerged stronger than ever." 100 meters to the giant laser, and the beam 2 petawatts (No 2 quadrillion Watts) emerged as strong as can be.
Even with all that power, that this is not it, something that will be a huge laser blown? Unfortunately, the reality was much more than that boring.
"The power of the laser beam is only powerful enough to run the microwave for two seconds," explained the researchers.
Nevertheless, this is considered an achievement goal is to increase the laser power for 10 petawatts, especially when it is incredibly quiet.
The team of researchers for the first time in 2012, again Phys.org journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion is an article that talked about their massive laser informed us, but it's just now they're getting closer to the record-breaking power is starting a fire.
Hopefully, this device is attached to a giant shark is a fish of the sea, which fall into the hands of rogue reached. If there is one thing that should not frighten us, because of sharks with laser beams attached to their heads.
