Chinese scientists claim to have created a ‘real-life Death Star’ capable of devastating enemy satellites in orbit.The science-fiction-inspired weapon combines pulses of microwave radiation into a single powerful beam – just like the planet-destroying lasers shown in Star Wars.In order to merge, the electromagnetic pulses must hit the exact same target within 170 trillionths of a second.That requires levels of timing more precise than the atomic clocks on advanced GPS satellites – a feat previously thought to be impossible.However, the weapon has now completed experimental trials for potential military applications thanks to breakthroughs in ‘ultra-high time precision synchronisation’.This could be…
