By combining the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser and ultra-light metal foams, researchers at Lawrence Livermore ...

"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for ...

"Your dentist's X-ray machine creates an electron beam that is crashed into a heavy metal plate; the electrons in the beam ...

A paper by the Chairman of Tau Zero's board, Jeffrey Greason, and Gerrit Bruhaug, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who specializes in laser physics, takes a look at the physics of one ...

The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...

They then tuned the photos in a laser beam so that they would only collide with atoms moving in the opposite direction to them, making them slow and cool down. Afterward, they froze the cloud of ...

The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) operates a laser with an open beam path at its DLR Institute of Technical Physics in Lampoldshausen. Researchers at this ...

A frothy breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), using lasers with a silver metal foam that's as light as air, has created the brightest yet X-ray source ever, twice as ...
