Didcot gets the world's most powerful laser!

Available for over a year

The Central Laser facility in Didcot has secured funding to build the world's most powerful laser! CLF, based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in South Oxfordshire, uses a suite of lasers to create the fourth state of matter (in addition to solid, liquid, and gas) known as plasma.
