World's Most Powerful Laser

Posted by michael on from the she-blinded-me-with-science dept.

mattlary writes "The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports that the University of Rochester plans on building the world's most powerful laser. The plans include upgrading the University's Omega laser with a pair of petawatt lasers. Sounds a lot like Real Genius to me."

  1. The Building Size by Discoteck · · Score: 2, Redundant
    I am wondering where they are going to put the additional two lasers. I have been inside of the building and it is already the size of a football field.
    UR is planning for an 82,000-square-foot addition to the back of the laser lab. The town of Brighton Planning Board is having a special meeting at 5:15 p.m. May 19 at the laser lab. The meeting will include a tour for board members and neighboring residents and a discussion of expansion plans.

    Ok then I actually read the article and saw that they were in fact planning on building an addition to the lab. It is good to know!
    I don't think it would fit on any shark =)
