Persistent storage ‘is just a theoretical laser pointer concept. In fact, under specific storage conditions, the existing optical storage technology can theoretically achieve ‘permanent storage’. However, research on optical storage technology focuses on the storage of actual data. In addition to the technology itself, many factors such as cost, implementation, and market promotion must be considered. Scientists use a Gemini laser to reproduce a gamma ray burst for the first time.
According to a report from the US Fun Science website on the 17th, an international scientific research team used the strongest laser on the planet to create a “mini” version of a gamma-ray burst in a laboratory for the first time, confirming that the current model for studying gamma-ray bursts correct. The new research will help to further understand the properties of black holes and the birth and even evolution of the universe. Gamma-ray bursts are intense bursts of light and are the brightest events observed by people.
It lasts only a few seconds, and some are even visible to the naked eye. However, scientists don’t really understand its source. Some people think that some gamma-ray bursts are laser pointers signals from advanced alien civilizations; others believe that gamma-ray bursts originate from massive celestial bodies such as black holes. But studying gamma-ray bursts faces several problems: they are not only short-lived, they also originate from distant galaxies, and some galaxies are even billions of light years from Earth.
