Researchers have generated the shortest hard X-ray pulses ever — using an intense XFEL beam and a novel lasing process.

A one-quintillionth-of-a-second lasing breakthrough could lead to next-generation X-ray technologies, improving imaging in ...

The team used high-energy pulses from LCLS and Japan’s SACLA XFEL to create their new laser through stimulated emission. In this study, the pulses were focused onto copper or manganese targets, with ...

Once only a part of science fiction, lasers are now everyday objects used in research, health care and even just for fun.

Harvard and PSI scientists have managed to freeze normally fleeting quantum states in time, creating a pathway to control ...

Increasing the separation angle of the Wollaston prism provides significantly improved sub-centimeter agreement with models.

Quantum materials exhibit remarkable emergent properties when they are excited by external sources. However, these excited ...

Once only a part of science fiction, lasers are now everyday objects used in research, healthcare and even just for fun.

The development of an attosecond atomic X-ray laser marks a significant advancement, facilitating the study of electron ...

A newly revealed spy laser can allow the user to read text less than two millimeters wide from almost a mile away.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide. Phototheranostics—an approach that uses light both to ...

ZEUS relied on a reconfigured target for its debut demonstration, which required firing a laser pulse at a cell containing helium. The subsequent interaction produced plasma as it tore electrons away ...
