- China has developed an advanced satellite power system for space weapons, including particle beams.
- Chinese scientists have solved a long-standing dilemma in achieving high power and high precision simultaneously.
- The system requires energy pulses to be synchronized within microseconds or nanoseconds to maintain beam focus and efficiency.
- Historically, high power and high precision have been mutually exclusive in engineering, forcing a choice between the two.
