According to reports, scientists at Osaka University have recently blasted the most powerful laser ever. It is said this most powerful laser blast consumed nearly 1,000-times the world's energy consumption.

Blast of the Laser for Fast Ignition Experiments (LFEX), the most powerful laser blast ever was created by the 100m-long light cannon. The cannon applied energy to special glass using devices resembling ordinary fluorescent tubes, repeatedly amplifying the power of the beam.

The laser, which was built at the end of last year, was successfully in achieving an incredible large energy output of a 2 petawatt, or 2 quadrillion-watt energy beam.

Now the idea that the laser will be soon fix up to a planet-like spacecraft to blow up nearby planets is still in realms of science fiction. The Osaka University team stated that presently the laser beam has the powerful to run a microwave for about two seconds.

By doing so, they will be able to attain the massive output by concentrating the power to 1 picosecond, or one-trillionth of a second which isn't powerful enough to do any damage, bar a cool light show.

The LFEX is 100-times more powerful than the previous record holder set by the Texas Petawatt at the University of Texas Austin which achieved 2 petawatts for one picosecond.

Osaka team said that presently they are not taking their achievement as finality. They stated that they have already started work on developing a 10 petawatt laser, five times the power of the LFEX.
