Laser physicists have built a novel hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have become an indispensable tool for studies of the structure of matter at sub-atomic scales, and have important ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Physicists have built a tractor beam out of lasers that can both repel and attract objects across distances 100 times farther than previously possible. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

A beam of light can only be seen when it hits matter particles and is scattered or reflected by them. In a vacuum, however, it is invisible. Physicists have now developed a method that allows laser ...

The program will include lectures by leading scientists (30 min.), as well as oral (15 min.) and poster presentations by scientific and pedagogical workers, engineers, graduate students and students ...

For the first time, physicists have used lasers to deep-freeze antimatter. In a new experiment, an ultraviolet laser quelled the thermal jitters of antihydrogen atoms, chilling the antiatoms to just ...

Katy has a BA in Humanities and Philosophy, with over 20 years of experience in online and print publishing. She was named the Association of British Science Writers' Editor of the Year in 2023. Katy ...

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 ...

The Iron Beam is the most advanced, operational laser in the world, though England, the US, and others have relatively advanced lasers. In a historic breakthrough, the IDF on Wednesday announced that ...

A pillar of light illuminated the sky in Oxfordshire as part of a birthday celebration for Harwell Science and Innovation ...
