MIT physicists have proposed a way to make a super sci-fi-sounding device: a neutrino 'laser,' which could help us probe the ...

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 ...

At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made history when they first detected ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves, from the ...

Randomization may seem simple, but there’s basically no such thing in classical physics – pretty much everything could be theoretically predicted if you had enough information. For true randomization ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

For 26-year-old Dani, the quote on her ribcage once meant everything. "It was something about freedom and finding yourself," she says with a smile that edges toward embarrassment. "Now I just want to ...

Strong field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser pulses and matter, a domain where non-linear phenomena such as multiphoton absorption, tunnelling ionisation, and ...

"It is this demonstration of a new law in laser physics that is most important in our research," Dr Runge said. "We have shown that E = 1/τ 3 and we hope this will change how lasers can be applied in ...

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 ...
