A new AI accelerates laser simulations for X-ray experiments by a factor of 250 and is revolutionizing modern physics.

Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

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 ...

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by allowing electrons to collide with an extremely intense and powerful laser ...

The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power of any other laser in the U.S. with its first official experiment at 2 petawatts (2 quadrillion watts). At more ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

The most powerful laser in the U.S. just fired up to full strength for its first official experiment—and it’s an absolute beast. Reading time 3 minutes The ZEUS laser, tucked away (as much as a giant ...

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 ...
