While lasers have long been viewed as a potential solution to advanced missile threats, current technology falls short of ...

Researchers used X-ray microscopy to discover a ferroelectric material that tailors its response to controlled ultrafast ...

In 2022, researchers at Fraunhofer IAF succeeded in demonstrating the world’s first magnetic field-dependent light ...

Measuring tiny magnetic fields, such as those generated by brain waves, enables many new novel opportunities for medical ...

However, there is another way of post-quantum security. This involves the physics of quantum information. If quantum objects, usually photons, can be kept entangled over long distances ...

A team of physicists has taken a step towards creating more powerful lasers out of sound instead of light, which could have a huge number of practical uses beyond just being pretty neat.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has given the green light for construction to begin on a high-energy upgrade that will further ...

The HPT shows scaling of thrust with input power while Hall thrusters and ion thrusters do not. Typically, an inert xenon gas is used as a fuel in HPT devices due to a low ionization potential and non ...

he tells Physics World. The NIST/University of Maryland team has been working on optical parametric oscillation as a way to convert near-infrared laser light to visible laser light for several years ...

Two, use intense lasers to make a succession of even smaller ... “That was kind of an awakening,” von der Linden said. “When the physics guys found out silicon works better, the target ...

However, researchers demonstrate a technique for constructing seven-tiered umbrellas using high-powered lasers, which dramatically reduces the production time. Employing carbon dioxide lasers ...
