I read a paper once where some physicists tried to do this with particle radiation instead. After trying all of their radiation sources, they put a Natty Lite in front of a particle accelerator.
Anyone know what causes this? My best guess is from heating. Warm beer can absorb/hold less co2 so if you rapidly heated it with a laser, I’d imagine some amount would come out of suspension.
Solution, not a suspension.
Scientist 1: we got a 50k grant, what experiment should we do?
Scientist 2: let’s shoot a beer with a fuckin laser.
Scientist 1: I love this job so much.
What would the practical implications of this be? If you shot a laser at a bottle of beer would it just be flat if you didn’t open it quickly enough?
Also would like a laser pointer level laser do this?
New party trick: Instantly make your buds beer flat with a quick shot of a laser!
Is this not just because of the heat being transmitted into the liquid reducing the solubility of the gas?
So it’s a photon nucleation point?
Someone should build a laser decarbonator
I have no idea as to the practical uses for a laser decarbonator
This is extremely unethical science. Think about the beers, damn it!!!
So can this be done with a simple laser pointer or cat toy?
I just spent a good 3 minutes wondering what kind of fancy science camera they used to film through a can of beer before I remembered about bottles.
So was it a CO2 laser that caused the CO2 to come out of solution? Hmm…
The old beer fart
Ummm thanks, I guess….I’ve been around a lot of military and usually beer is what they go for. The heavier stuff is harder to shake off.
Was it from one of those sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads?
So you’re saying if you excite the CO2 using a high energy photon stream that it comes out of solution?
Who would have thought it?
More interesting, WHY would they think to do that?
So it’s your fault my beer is flat. Damn laser jockeys.
Why does this happen?
Could I use this technique to flatten soft drinks?
What wavelength are they using?
Can I do this with a laser pointer
I read a paper once where some physicists tried to do this with particle radiation instead. After trying all of their radiation sources, they put a Natty Lite in front of a particle accelerator.
But was it a CO2 laser?
And here we have why Physical Chemistry is a thing.
You monsters! What man would want that beer now?
Bud light doesn’t use corn syrup
Video wouldn’t play…
LUCKILY, as a man of SCIENCE, I have ALL the necessary equipment to try this!!!
Dois thiis get u any Drunkerere?
This reminds me of the sweet 90s movie [Chain Reaction](https://youtu.be/jrjsVGkI2PI).

How strong does the laser have to be?
If the CO2 is in suspension then its separation is not a physical reaction?
what wavelength(s)1?
