New Mexico ranks first in the nation for laser strikes on aircraft, posing significant risks to pilots and passengers, with few consequences for offenders. Neal Lawson, a former pilot for KOAT, ...

The ring design has potential applications in telecommunications, medicine, and other fields. Scientists from the (SEAS), in collaboration with the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), have deve ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

The associated research has been published in Optica. It was co-led by Federico Capasso, the Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel method for generating ultra-high magnetic fields via ...

Researchers in Japan have accelerated muons into the most precise, high-intensity beam to date, reaching energies high as 100 keV. The achievement could enable next-generation experiments such as ...

However, aluminum is tricky. The element is difficult to measure with lasers, as well as cool to absolute zero. But when ...

Katy Perry brought her Lifetimes Tour to PHX Arena on July 12. It was a sci-fi fever dream with "Roar," "Firework," "I Kissed ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing ...

The semi-automatic system for laser beam alignment was developed and researched. The alignment system was used to make the laser beam follow the predetermined path through the optical scheme. The ...

In the work presented is the theoretical description of optimal focusing of extended laser beam at long distances (over 1km). It is shown that in general case the optimal focusing condition does not ...
