Chinese researchers have made what has been called a "huge breakthrough" in high-energy laser technology, reports the South China Morning Post (SCMP). Thanks to a new cooling system, Chinese lasers can now operate "infinitely" by removing built-up waste heat efficiently. This innovation could, the researchers believe, enable high-energy laser weapons to have a longer range and increased punch.
