They used the world's most powerful laser.
A team of physicists tested what would be the most powerful laser in the world, one that would surpass Superman’s. A particle beam was generated to obtain images of an object by concrete.
Romanian researchers have taken a new step in muon imaging by producing these particles usually from cosmic rays themselves. Their experience opens up new perspectives to explore thick structures, where conventional methods...
Using the laser, a muon beam is generated that makes lead blocks visible behind concrete walls.
Researchers have used the world's most powerful laser to capture an image of objects behind a 1.8-meter-thick concrete wall. The achievement was achieved at the ELI-NP research center in Romania. The images recorded are still not very clear and detailed; but the researchers consider the experiment an important advance in imaging technology. The technology could be used in areas such as security and mining.
