Smashing heavy ions together could produce the world’s strongest electric fields

Future particle-physics experiments may inadvertently generate fields stronger than the most intense lasers.

A theoretical analysis by a RIKEN physicist and two colleagues recently suggests that lab experiments worldwide aimed at recreating the mysterious phase of matter from the early universe may also generate the strongest electromagnetic fields on Earth.

In new experiments, scientists first collided with heavy ions. They then examined the resultant plasma.
