An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a ...

Alpha Centauri sits more than four light-years away, close enough to fascinate generations of dreamers and far enough to make ...

A spacecraft that could reach the nearest star system in about 20 years would need to travel at a meaningful fraction of the ...

Experiments have identified two main types of “breathing” behavior. When the laser operates above the minimum power needed to ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

Ultrafast lasers tracked plasma formation and ionization in copper with picosecond precision. Results show rapid ion growth ...

Thin films might not come up in conversation every day, but they are all around us. Take the metallic plastic films of chip ...

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 ...

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 ...
