The ZEUS laser, tucked away (as much as a giant laser can be) at the University of Michigan, just cranked out a pulse that makes it the most powerful laser beam in the country. ZEUS’ peak power topped out at 2 petawatts, or a staggering 2 quadrillion watts, roughly 100 times the entire planet’s power output. Of course, that level of energy is fleeting; the pulse lasts just 25 quintillionths of a second—just enough time for researchers to do some pretty revolutionary science. “This milestone ma
