Scientists boil water up to 100,000 degrees Celsius in a time of 10 trillion seconds

In this experiment, water will shift from liquid to plasma.

Scientists used a powerful X-ray to perform a test of a strange state of water. This experiment will turn the laser into the fastest water heater ever by heating hot water to 100,000 degrees Celsius in less than 1/10 of a picosecond.

(Pico (abbreviated p) is a prefix written immediately before an international unit of measurement that refers to a unit smaller than 1,000,000,000,000 times (1000 billion). Italian, pic meaning small). This is a speed of 'crazy' water heating that we've almost never seen before.

X-rays in the laser push electrons away from water molecules and destroy the charge balance.

The experiment was conducted by a team from 'Center for Free-electron Laser Science' at DESY and Uppsala University in Sweden led by Carl Caleman. Scientists used the Linac Combined Light Source (LCLS) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US to project ultra-short and ultra-short X-ray rays to the water.

Caleman said that when we boil water, the molecules get more and more moving. The hotter the temperature, the faster the movement of molecules. X-rays in the laser push electrons away from water molecules and destroy the charge balance.

Caleman said "atoms suddenly feel a strong thrust and start to move violently." The water goes through a transition from liquid to plasma. Plasma is a physical state where electrons are eliminated. leave atoms leaving behind a charged gas.

When water moves from liquid to plasma, it remains at a density because the atoms do not have time to move significantly. This is a strange state of matter that we cannot find in nature. The team says that the type of plasma created has similar characteristics to some of the plasma found on the Sun and Jupiter but has a lower density. Plasma produced by this method has a hotter temperature than the Earth's core.
