With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

A powerful laser turned a copper wire into plasma similar to that found in stars, opening up new possibilities for fusion energy.

Researchers who make the coldest plasmas in the universe just found a way to make them even colder — by blasting them with lasers. The scientists cooled the plasma to around 50-thousandths of a degree ...

Translational research: Researchers have performed the first controlled irradiation of tumours in mice using laser-accelerated protons. (Courtesy: HZDR/Juniks) Laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) propel ...

A new method of creating laser pulses, more than 1,000 times as powerful as those currently in existence, has been proposed by scientists in the UK and South Korea. The scientists have used computer ...

High-NA EUV extends resolution by increasing optical numerical aperture, but at the cost of dramatically more complex and expensive optical systems. The industry is therefore confronting a dual ...

Physicists have discovered a way to trap the world's coldest plasma in a magnetic bottle, a technological achievement that could advance research into clean energy, space weather and solar physics.

Taking place at the end of the semiconductor process flow, dicing is the process where the silicon wafer is finally turned into individual chips, or die, traditionally by means of a saw or laser. A ...

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...
