A school gym-sized facility tucked away at the University of Michigan is quietly pushing the boundaries of what lasers can do ...

A new review highlights a powerful, cleaner route to produce ultra-clean, customizable nanoparticles—key building blocks for artificial sensory systems that mimic human perception and power emerging ...

Magnetization by laser pulse Research team identifies new details of a promising phenomenon Date: December 7, 2023 Source: Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf ...

The new class of lasers pulse with very high intensity. One short pulse delivers the power of a nuclear power plant in a picosecond or .000000000001 of a second.

In the moving frame of the electrons, the 3-petawatt laser pulse will seem to be a million times more powerful—a zettawatt-scale pulse. This gives ZEUS its full name of "Zettawatt Equivalent ...

But getting to 10 25 W/cm 2 is tough. The issue is one of material. Or, rather it's the lack of a material that can survive long enough to focus the laser light. This is where plasma mirrors come in.

"One current method to narrow laser linewidth uses Brillouin lasers, where sound waves interact with light; but the effect is ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

You can now order an “Iron Dome” for mosquitoes. Its name is the Photon Matrix, a black box about the size of a smartphone ...

A new U.S. Army laser has more in common with Star Wars blasters than anything currently used by the military, firing a stream of bullet-like pulses of light that hit the target with explosive ...

Obtaining few-cycle pulses from industrial-grade lasers The extremely short light pulses employed in attosecond-scale experiments consist of a single oscillation cycle of an electromagnetic wave. Such ...

Fast laser pulses produce a shock wave in air that pushes water vapor aside. That clears channels in clouds for transmitting optical data from satellites. Skip to main content.
