Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

A $200,000 unrestricted physics endowment to the Louisiana Tech University College of Engineering and Science honors the life ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

China’s race to harness fusion energy is no longer confined to a single experimental reactor. Its so‑called “artificial sun” ...

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.

Lunar laser ranging (LLR) remains one of the most incisive techniques for probing both the intricacies of the Earth–Moon system and the fundamental aspects of gravitational physics. By timing laser ...

Strong-field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser fields and matter, revealing complex ionization dynamics that extend far beyond traditional perturbative regimes. At these ...

Gisela Eckhardt was one of the early pioneers in laser physics, discovering the principle behind the Raman laser in 1962. Valdas Pasiskevicius, Richard Mildren and David Burman tell the largely ...
