Researchers have discovered a way to control the spin property of nuclei, which can store quantum information, using lasers. Quantum-based devices, including computers and sensors,…
A unique carbon molecule has been found to possess the ability to operate as multiple high-speed switches at once. An international team of researchers, including…
By illuminating a sample surface with short laser beam pulses, it is possible to film sequences of various chemical and physical reactions. A research team…
It’s not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But that’s what happened…
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…
