A group of scientists created "slits" in time, allowing them to send light through the slits in a twist on an experiment first run over 200 years ago. In the original experiment, scientists sent light ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique called RAVEN that can capture the full complexity of an ultra-intense laser pulse in a single shot—something previously thought nearly impossible.

It's not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But that’s what happened in UMD’s Energy Research Facility, an unremarkable ...

Xcimer Energy announced today that its researchers and collaborators have removed a major scientific bottleneck to commercializing laser fusion energy by experimentally validating a long-overlooked ...

Quantum computing has long been constrained by the messy reality of controlling fragile qubits with bulky, power-hungry ...

Researchers set a record by guiding light in 45-meter-long air wave-guides. It's not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But ...
