The most powerful pulse of X-rays ever reported has been produced at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California. In only 440 billionths of a billionth of a second, or attoseconds, it packed nearly a terawatt of power \u2013 a thousand times more than the average yearly output of a nuclear power plant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the near term, it will be hard to do better,\u201d says Agostino Marinelli<\/a> at SLAC, who worked on the project.<\/p>\n
