Brighter than the Sun - Backstage Science

We take a look at a synchrotron which produces light "100 billion times brighter than the sun - really, really bright".

The Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron facility, used by academic and industry researchers.

@skuller1225 just a typo... Took 4,5000 views to pick it up, but I couldn't live with it! - Brady

Its all fun and games till the AI floods the facility with neurotoxin.

wow...sometimes..i really envy you for all your great experiences with scientists (espacially with the periodic team...)...keep it up!! ahh and one question..this sond at the beginning..is it something free (if yes whats its name?) or did you made it?

@noxure YOU ARE AWESOME good to see I wasn't the only one who was thinking that

HALF LIFE FTW

@dhwani7294 the light is hot because the energy is converted when the beam passes through the optics of the detectors. Hope I helped you!

i wonder if they added the color to the doorway's after construction was done? every one kept getting lost so they had to do something about it. maybe? just a thought :D

I want to see the light that's brighter than the sun!
