| The University of Reading has developed a laser laboratory that is capable of showing some of the fastest physical processes known involving DNA. The Ultrafast Laser Laboratory (ULL) can generate high energy laser light pulses with durations less than one tenth of a millionth of a millionth of a second long. The pulses can be tailored at the Reading University to have a particular shape and their properties can be measured. The laser pulses created in the ULL have a wide range of functions and will be used to investigate theories in fundamental physics as well as practical applications in medical science, DNA sequencing and even to discover more about the composition of archaeological finds. |
