Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

A new AI accelerates laser simulations for X-ray experiments by a factor of 250 and is revolutionizing modern physics.

Cutting grass with lasers works great in a test setup. (Credit: Allen Pan, YouTube) Wouldn’t it be cool if you could cut the grass with lasers? Everyone knows that lasers are basically magic, and if ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

For experiments that require ultra-precise measurements and control over atoms—think two-photon atomic clocks, cold-atom interferometer sensors and quantum gates—lasers are the technology of choice, ...

Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

Fusion power startup Inertia Enterprises said on Tuesday that it has signed three agreements with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to help bring the laser-based fusion reactor ...

Laser beams powered by the sun are one small step closer to becoming a reality after researchers received funding to develop the pioneering technology. These lasers could eventually help power lunar ...
