NSF moves ahead with plan for world's most powerful laser

Original: NSF advances plan to build world’s most powerful laser

The US National Science Foundation is advancing plans to build what would be the world's most powerful laser, a facility expected to push the frontiers of high-intensity physics research. The announcement came via UC Irvine, which is involved in the project. Researchers say the laser could open new avenues in fundamental physics, though details on timeline and funding remain limited.

Why now: The NSF's decision to advance a major flagship science facility is new, and such extreme-scale lasers attract attention for their potential scientific breakthroughs.
