Demonstrating a technique that may lead to advances in certain forms of radiation therapy and electronics manufacturing, Livermore's Petawatt, the world's most powerful laser, impinges upon a target to generate 30 trillion protons from a tiny spot only 400 microns in size. Two other research groups, in Michigan and the United Kingdom, have demonstrated this technique with smaller-scale lasers. (Figure courtesy Livermore)
