For the first time, physicists have used lasers to deep-freeze antimatter. In a new experiment, an ultraviolet laser quelled the thermal jitters of antihydrogen atoms, chilling the antiatoms to just ...

Scientists have developed a new platform for the generation and detection of ultrashort UV-C laser pulses on femtosecond ...

U.S. scientists have used the world's largest laser to take a "critical step" towards self-sustaining nuclear fusion power. Nuclear fusion power has been hailed as one of the most pressing goals in ...

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 ...

Laser physicists have built a novel hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have become an indispensable tool for studies of the structure of matter at sub-atomic scales, and have important ...

Detecting tiny nanoparticles using optical devices is a challenging task and, in general, it requires an understanding of complex quantum optics concepts. In a recent ...

Applied physics is perfect for students fascinated by physics, but who don't see themselves strictly pursuing a laboratory position. You'll be prepared for a career in industry or engineering allowing ...

STOCKHOLM/LONDON (Reuters) - A trio of American, French and Canadian scientists won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics on Tuesday for breakthroughs in laser technology that have turned light beams into ...
