DESCRIPTION
A multinational team led by the French École Polytechnique, the University of Rostock, and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) conducted a novel experiment to find out what occurs in the planets’ cores, such as those of Neptune and Uranus. The researchers shot a laser at a basic sheet of PET plastic to observe the action with powerful X-ray flashes.
