Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

A femtosecond laser approach could quietly alter chip cooling rules for AI hardware and quantum devices ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Exciton polaritons are hybrid light-matter quantum states arising from strong coupling, offering a unique platform for exploring macroscopic quantum phenomena. However, how the coherence of external ...

Optical storage and even DNA storage could be a significant contender for the digital archive market in the coming decades.

Researchers in Germany have unveiled an ultra-fast light switch made of very thin semiconductor ...

Andreas Stingl, CEO of Austrian company Femtolasers, talks to Nadya Anscombe about the market for femtosecond lasers and their wide variety of applications. How mature is the market for femtosecond ...

Scientists in Scotland have shown that a type of laser already similar to the one currently used in routine eye surgery could one day help surgeons remove unwanted tissues, such as tumours, with ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort X-ray pulses at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL. This achievement ...

Physicists just found a way to reprogram matter without brutal lasers. By harnessing hidden quantum ripples inside materials, ...
