Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

Xcimer Energy today announced that it completed experimental shots at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, accelerating the company’s goal of commercializing laser fusion.

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, and laser-induced chemical liquid phase deposition onto glass. Whoo! I'm ...

Scientists have for the first time observed how atoms in magnesium oxide morph and melt under ultra-harsh conditions, providing new insights into this key mineral within Earth's mantle that is known ...

Radiative shocks are a class of shock waves in which the transport and deposition of radiation play a central role in modulating the shock’s structure and dynamics. These phenomena are not only ...

Researchers have developed a method that could one day be used to build roads on the moon. The novel approach, described in a proof-of-concept study published in the journal Scientific Reports, would ...
