Water heated to 1,00,000ÂºC within quadrillionths of a second
Scientists have used an X-ray laser to heat water from room temperature to 1,00,000ÂºC in 75 quadrillionths of a second (75 millionths of a billionth of a second). Dubbed the "world's fastest water heater", the experimental setup, instead of boiling water, knocked off electrons from water molecules turning it into a electrically charged gas called plasma.
