Sweden’s most powerful laser delivers record-short light pulses
For the first time, the Umeå researchers have demonstrated the full capabilities of their large-scale laser.

Very cool stuff, and this snippet really blew my mind:
At its peak it generates 100 terawatts – equivalent to five times the average power consumption of the world – although only for a few millionth of a billionth of a second.
It's refreshing to see news about awesome sci-fi-esque tech that is in the application phase with some really cool experiments lined up.

I can also expel incredible energy very quickly but it just makes me feel ashamed.

The custom-built laser system, called the Light Wave Synthesizer 100
Man they really missed the mark with the name...you always use numbers in the thousands! Light Wave Synthesizer 3000 sound so much cooler

Maybe they didn't expect to hit the news with this one yet.

What even is that... we have units in multiples of 1000 for a reason.
1 femtosecond, or 1 millionth of a nanosecond. -
wave force laser.
Really cool flasgun.
