Topological phases are not limited to electronic systems and can also exist in magnetic materials characterized by magnetic waves, known as magnons. While scientists have…
Scientists use powerful laser beams to create miniature solar flares in order to study the process of magnetic reconnection. Scientists employed twelve high-powered laser beams…
Researchers have identified the effects of the choice of laser on LIPSS, providing insight into key manufacturing parameters. The electronic and optical devices that we…
First-of-its-kind experimental evidence contradicts traditional theories about the emission and absorption of radiation by plasmas. While solids, liquids, and gases are familiar states of matter,…
For the first time, scientists were successful at driving at a thousand shots per second a so-called plasma mirror in the relativistic regime, i.e. with…
How fast do electrons inside a molecule move? Well, it is so fast that it takes them just a few attoseconds (1 as = 10-18…
Pulse radiolysis experiments demonstrate how unpaired electrons at one end of a molecule can initiate chemistry at ‘distant’ locations. Researchers at the Brookhaven National Laboratory…
Researchers use an optoelectronic resonator to increase the sensitivity of an electron pulse detector, which may lead to ultrafast electronic characterization of proteins and materials….
New all-optical pumping chip-based nanolaser technology could aid in meeting the ever-growing need to move more data faster. A new all-optical approach for driving multiple…
Scientists have successfully conducted the world’s first room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a deep-ultraviolet laser diode (wavelengths down to UV-C region). These results represent a step…
A new cancer treatment system Photodynamic therapy, which uses photo-uncaging systems to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor, is one method of…
A “light trap” was developed in which a beam of light prevents itself from escaping. This allows light to be absorbed perfectly. If you want…
Researchers have developed a new chip-based beam steering technology that provides a promising route to small, cost-effective, and high-performance lidar systems. Lidar, or light detection…
Self-organizing lasers could lead to new materials for sensing, computing, light sources, and displays by mimicking features of living systems. Although many artificial materials have…
First experimental measurement of pure electron outflows associated with magnetic reconnection driven by electron dynamics in laser-produced plasmas. Magnetic reconnections in laser-produced plasmas have been…
These days, imagining our everyday life without lasers is difficult. Lasers are used in printers, CD players, measuring devices, pointers, and so on. What makes…
Unlike fictional laser swords, real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross – unless the beams meet within a suitable material…
Researchers have taken a decisive step toward creating ultrafast computers. A long-standing quest for science and technology has been to create electronics and information processing…
