Scientists will turn the Earth into a remake of the horror "Event Horizon"
In the journal Nature, a team of researchers published material on
the latest technology to bypass the limitations of antimatter.
According to the publication, the technology involves the use of
two lasers, whose rays collide in space, creating conditions
similar to those that occur near neutron stars. This allows you to
convert light into matter and antimatter (an extremely simple state
of matter in which particles have reverse charges). Although the
new method has not received experimental confirmation, virtual
simulations suggest that the method should work even in a relatively
small laboratory. The new equipment provides for the use of two
powerful lasers and a plastic block dotted with tunnels several
micrometers in diameter. As soon as the lasers hit the target, they
accelerate the electron clouds of the block and they rush towards
each other. As a result of the collision, a large amount of gamma
radiation is generated and, due to the extremely narrow channels,
the probability of collision of photons increases with the subsequent
appearance of antimatter - positrons. Directional magnetic fields
focus the positrons into the beam and accelerate it, imparting
incredibly high energy. The researchers say the new technology is
highly efficient and capable of creating 100,000 times more antimatter
than would be possible with a single laser. In addition, the laser
power can be relatively low. In this case, the energy of the rays of
antimatter will be the same as in the conditions of the Earth is
achieved only in large particle accelerators. Scientists argue that
the necessary conditions for the experiment are already in place
at some laboratory sites around the world.
