German scientists create a success

German scientists successfully created a "black hole" with strong attraction inside the molecule with the world's strongest X-ray beam.

A group of researchers in Germany created molecular black holes by projecting the world's most powerful beam of X-rays , the International Business Times yesterday cited experimental results published in Nature.

The beam of X-rays is 100 times stronger than the intensity of all sunlight converging on a baby spot with this nail on Earth that is projected into the crystal of the iodomethane compound. This crystal contains a large and heavy iodine atom that can interact with X-rays.

X-rays immediately remove all negatively charged electrons on iodine atoms, leaving only positive electrons. This positive charge is strong enough to absorb the remaining electrons in the molecule within a few millionths of a billionth of a second.

A total of 54 of the 62 electrons of the molecule were removed by the X-ray beam, creating the strongest positively charged iodomethane molecule ever observed. Due to being unable to withstand such a large charge, the molecule exploded into many small pieces.

The force of charged iodine atoms affects electrons that are thought to be greater than the gravitational pull of black holes in the universe, according to Robin Santra, lead author of the study at the German Electron Laser Center. . However, unlike the black hole in the universe, the force that makes up the attraction of the molecular black hole is Coulomb force , not gravity.

The finding will help scientists adjust the use of the most powerful sources of X-rays such as the Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray Free-electron device in the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US. Research results will also help them better understand the structure of viruses and bacteria.
