American scientists have created a revolutionary laser that reveals nuclear weapons

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/1d/0a/ib-FQVTMF_7C6FC931.jpg" Alt = "American scientists have created a revolutionary laser that detects nuclear weapons"/> < P > American scientists have developed a new laser technology that allows you to remotely identify radioactive materials and potential nuclear weapons at large distances. The method is based on the creation of miniature plasma discharges similar to zippers that signal a dangerous radiation.

< P > A study conducted by physicists at the University of Maryland showed that an infrared laser could interact with free electrons that are formed under the influence of alpha particles of radioactive materials. This leads to the formation of an electronic avalanche that emits light that can be fixed and analyzed.

< P > During experiments, scientists successfully identified the radiation of Polonius-210 at a distance of 10 meters. Under favorable conditions, this technology can be scaled to detect radiation sources at a distance of more than 100 meters, which is much higher than the capabilities of modern detectors.

< P > Developers believe that the new technique can be used to check loads, transport units and even to monitor radiation threats in space. This discovery can significantly improve safety measures and prevent nuclear threats in the future.
