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 ...
YouTuber and inventor Styropyro has built and tested a 250-watt handheld laser device. The system is roughly 50,000 times more powerful than standard commercial laser pointers, Styropyro claims in his ...
The big picture: With its first 2-petawatt experiment successfully completed, ZEUS is poised to push the boundaries of high-field science, providing researchers with a powerful new tool for discovery ...
A few years ago, researchers in Michal Lipson’s lab noticed something remarkable. They were working on a project to improve LiDAR, a technology that uses lightwaves to measure distance. The lab was ...
A tiny, levitated bead is at the core of an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound ...
LCLS-II-HE is the second upgrade in as many years for a laser beam in Menlo Park, California, that reveals some of nature's most microscopic mysteries in sharp detail. Reading time 3 minutes A new ...
Claudio Emma and Brendan O’Shea examine experimental apparatus at FACET-II in 2022. Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on ...
Researchers will be able to analyze chemical compounds and atoms in greater detail than ever before using the brightest, clearest laser of its kind anywhere in the world When you purchase through ...
