Physicists in Germany have demonstrated for the first time that the polarization, or spin alignment, of Helium-3 ions is preserved during laser–plasma acceleration. The result could boost prospects ...

In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser ...

An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a ...

A group of scientists created "slits" in time, allowing them to send light through the slits in a twist on an experiment first run over 200 years ago. In the original experiment, scientists sent light ...

In a world-first, physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and Forschungszentrum Jülich have shown that helium-3 ions retain their spin alignment during laser–plasma acceleration. This ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics have developed an approach that helps ...

What could possibly go wrong? The post Scientists Experimenting With Quantum Effect That Some Fear Could Cause Chain Reaction ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

Princeton University electrical engineers are using lasers to shed light on the behavior of superfluids -- strange, frictionless liquids that are difficult to create and study. Their technique allows ...

Researchers set a record by guiding light in 45-meter-long air wave-guides. It's not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But ...
