Scientists created a 'black hole' using this ultra-powerful laser

U.S. scientists have created their own "black hole" using the world's most powerful X-ray laser.

Researchers in the past had used a lower-intensity beam on small molecules, which in turn stripped away electrons from the molecules' iodine atoms. But in a recent experiment, a team used a high-intensity beam instead — and the results came as a big surprise.

A single laser pulse stripped all but a few electrons in the molecule's biggest atom from the inside out. That created a void, which pulled in electrons from the rest of the molecule — akin to a black hole in space that devours neighboring stars, though on a teeny-tiny scale, according to a paper published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
