a. Top-view of the experimental setup. Plastic and Tefon shielding was inserted to reduce the noise due to low energy divergent particles and x-rays. b. Typical positron signal as recorded by the Image Plate. The region labelled with gamma noise is predominantly exposed by the gamma-rays escaping the solid target. c. Typical signal of the electron beam as recorded on the LANEX screen, without a solid target and d. extracted spectrum. Credit: arxiv.org/abs/1304.5379

Can it be printed with a 3-D printer?

Basically that means that anyone who happens to have a petawatt laser sitting around could make one of these things. When it gets to the point where we can make them with a 3D printer we got trouble. BTT

may open the pathway for the small-scale study of astrophysical leptonic jets in the laboratory.

Or annihilate your enemies.

their device could be used to mimic the jet streams from black holes and/or pulsars


I am under the impression that one would not want to stand too close to either of those things.

Could this be the very beginnings of a viable superweapon capable of destroying matter at the planetary level.

To achieve this feat, the team fired a petawatt laser at a sample of inert helium gas.

Wow, just imagine what might have happened if the team fired the laser at a sample of "Explosive" helium gas!

Biden already has added it to his list to ban.

“...they are also found in jets emitted by black holes and pulsars...”

Let’s just hope we really understand how this works: black holes emit jets of positrons and not the other way around :-)

The Founders never would have written the Second Amendment had they known about anti-matter guns.

Encapsulate the anti-matter into a photon torpedo. :-)

A table top version? Dang. Mine looks like this...

Actually I saw this going down I-40 outside Nashville on Saturday.

it’s only a short hop from this to a “thimble nuke” ;).
