For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background ...

Scientists have achieved a historic first using lasers to study electron behaviour, revealing new insights into how light ...

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 ...

Strong field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser pulses and matter, a domain where non-linear phenomena such as multiphoton absorption, tunnelling ionisation, and ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique called RAVEN that can capture the full complexity of an ultra-intense laser pulse in a single shot—something previously thought nearly impossible.

Humans are generating more data than ever before. While much of these data do not need to be stored long-term, some – such as scientific and historical records – would ideally still be retrievable in ...

Tailored profiles: The working principle of the new metalaser. The designed geometric phase profile is introduced to the metasurface by rotating the hole in each silicon nitride nanodisk. Then the ...

For 26-year-old Dani, the quote on her ribcage once meant everything. "It was something about freedom and finding yourself," she says with a smile that edges toward embarrassment. "Now I just want to ...

Lunar laser ranging (LLR) remains one of the most incisive techniques for probing both the intricacies of the Earth–Moon system and the fundamental aspects of gravitational physics. By timing laser ...

Ultra-intense ultrashort lasers have a wide-ranging scope of applications, encompassing basic physics, national security, industrial service, and health care. In basic physics, such lasers have become ...
