A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how ...

Lasers, devices that emit intense beams of coherent light in specific directions, are widely used in research settings and are central components of various technologies, including optical clocks (i.e ...

Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

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 ...

The United Kingdom recently committed hundreds of millions of pounds to a directed-energy weapon designed to shoot down fast-moving drones, and a separate line of physics research suggests that the ...

The quest is on to make terahertz sources that are small, portable and capable of operating at room temperature. Such a breakthrough could lead to advances in everything from cancer screening to ...

Engineering and laser company Trumpf, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), and the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems at the Freie Universität Berlin are working together to ...

Strong-field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser fields and matter, revealing complex ionization dynamics that extend far beyond traditional perturbative regimes. At these ...

Ultra-intense ultrashort lasers are powerful tools used in various fields like physics, national security, industry, and healthcare. They help researchers delve into strong-field laser physics, ...
