The Soviets are about even with the U.S. in the development of high-energy lasers (HELS) and clearly ahead in an even more lethal offshoot, charged particle beams (CPBs). Instead of photons, which have no mass, CPB devices shoot bursts of relatively weighty subatomic bullets, such as electrons (particles carrying...
American HELS are coming. In about two years the Navy is scheduled to test its Sea Lite laser system: generating more than two megawatts of power, enough to meet the electrical needs of a town of 7,500, Sea Lite is supposed to be capable of knocking out numbers of...
Research on particle beam weapons is under way at California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and at Los Alamos. There, scientists are dealing with a third kind of ray known as a neutral-particle beam. It is made up of particles that carry no electrical charge, such as neutral hydrogen...
