# video of the day | The world's most powerful x-ray laser vaporizes water.

We have repeatedly told you about the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University, which has the world's most powerful LCLS x-ray laser. Scientists are constantly conducting a variety of studies using this laser. The other day, for example, they made tiny drops and trickles of water literally dance and explode while they evaporated under a powerful laser beam. We suggest that you look at the recording of these experiments.

One of the leaders of the laboratory, Claudiu Stan, explained that "the study of the dynamics of fluid behavior under the influence of a laser is very important for understanding a variety of processes." Everything you see in the video below is captured using a powerful microscope. Shooting was carried out frame by frame, at the moments when laser pulses hit water samples. Then the frames were glued to the video and carefully processed for greater viewing convenience. The research results have already been published in the journal Nature Physics , and we can enjoy a wonderful video.

But the video without any processing.
