Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could ...

Researchers working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have been awarded a $1 million grant to create a prototype quantum laser unlike anything we've ever seen. the laser ...

The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power of any other laser in the U.S. with its first official experiment at 2 petawatts (2 quadrillion watts). At more ...

Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...

The US has a new most powerful laser – creating more than 100 times the global electricity power output. The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power of any ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single measurement. The breakthrough, published in close ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Deep beneath the surface in a quiet corner of the basement of the Physics, Math and Astronomy building of the University of Texas at Austin, lasers blast electronics with simulated ...
