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 ...

Scientists have shown that sunlight alone can generate quantum-correlated photons capable of producing “ghost images,” a feat ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by allowing electrons to collide with an extremely intense and powerful laser ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

Researchers discovered that atomic rotations inside a crystal can unexpectedly flip direction while still obeying the laws of ...

The reaction kinetics of energetic materials is a key factor in determining the detonation characteristics and safety. The complexity of the reaction process and the lack of experimental means remain ...

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 ...

Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

The most powerful laser in the U.S. just fired up to full strength for its first official experiment—and it’s an absolute beast. Reading time 3 minutes The ZEUS laser, tucked away (as much as a giant ...
