Scientists propose super-bright light source powered by quasiparticles

A simulation of a powerful and bright laser source created using a collection of many electrons that move together like a single giant particle, or quasiparticle
Scientists studied the unique properties of quasiparticles in plasmas by running advanced computer simulations on supercomputers available through the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking. They propose using quasiparticles to create light sources as powerful as the most advanced ones in existence today, but much smaller. (Courtesy: B Malaca)
A proposed new light source based on plasma accelerators could make it possible to develop super-bri
