Romania takes part in EC-approved project to build the world's most powerful laser
Each laser will provide power pulses to reach 10 petawatts, which is several hundred times more powerful than the one used at this time. These pulses will take 1.5 x 10 to 14 seconds, less than a tenth of the time light takes to cross the diameter of a human hair. Each of the three lasers will cost USD 400 million, and the design of each of them will differ depending on the purpose.
