High Power Laser in Romania’s Măgurele Nuclear Physics facility has reached today world’s top nominal power. Researchers from "Horia Hulubei" National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, working for the ELI-NP European project, have managed to reach today a stable power of 7 petawatts - General Manager of Extreme-Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics Project (ELI-NP), Academician Nicolae Zamfir, confirmed for Radio Romania News Channel.
"Last year, researchers reached the intermediate power that was actually in line with the 3 petawatts plan, and now it enters the final tests for a nominal power of 10 petawatts. Today it has been confirmed that world's highest power of 7 petawatts has been reached", Professor Zamfir said.
