For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Xcimer Energy today announced that it completed experimental shots at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, accelerating the company’s goal of commercializing laser fusion.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using ...

A research team has demonstrated a quantum-inspired laser rangefinder that measures distances with sub-millimetre accuracy across a city-scale gap, using only tens of microwatts of optical power.

Radiative shocks are a class of shock waves in which the transport and deposition of radiation play a central role in modulating the shock’s structure and dynamics. These phenomena are not only ...

The latest dark matter experiment kicks off this week, as physicists aim to identify the universe's most enigmatic particles. Reading time 2 minutes Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.
