Chinese military scientists have revealed the design of a microwave weapon theoretically capable of firing 10 gigawatt power beams at a repeating rate of 126 million times per second.
The inspiration for the blueprint can be traced back to an explosive quantum phenomenon first glimpsed in Soviet laboratories during the Cold War.
The concept is rooted in the physics of “superradiance”, a design that promises unprecedented peak power, efficiency and firing speed – a combination that would mark a…
