Scientists Just Created A Light That Is 1 Billion Times As Bright As The Sun

A million suns isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion suns. Physicists from the University of Nebraska's aptly-named Extreme Light Laboratory have just made the brightest light ever produced on Earth, and it is one billion times brighter than the surface of the sun, Phys.org reports. The super bright laser beam is helping researchers understand how light and matter interact.
