Scientists unveil world's brightest UV light

Chinese scientists have built the brightest extreme ultraviolet light in the world for capturing atoms and molecules that will reveal laws of the micro-material world.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences announced on Sunday that they have successfully developed the Dalian Coherent Light Source, which can generate the brightest extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser light.

"We expect the new facility will become a new machine for important scientific discoveries and international scientific collaborations," said Zheng Yonghe, director of the policy bureau at the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which funded the organization of the project.
