Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...

Intense laser pulse interaction with ultra-thin foils constitutes a promising approach for proton acceleration. Here the authors show that the degree of ellipticity in the laser beam polarization ...

Researchers present new diagnostic tool for laser-plasma accelerator using metal foil as 3D scanner. by Simon Schmitt, Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres ...

The team predicted that, at its narrowest point, the slotted foil could effectively cut a 100-femtosecond pulse down to about one femtosecond. Through computer simulations that took into account many ...

Laser-plasma accelerators take up less space than conventional facilities, which are sometimes kilometers long. Such compact particle sources can accelerate electron bunches efficiently, enabling ...

A strong enough laser can burn things, clean things, pop things, and most impressively, move things.Yep. Watch this powerful laser shining into a piece of aluminum foil suspended in a vacuum and ...

By putting a sacrificial sheet of thin aluminum foil between 3D printed PLA and glass, then sending the laser through the glass into the aluminum, researchers were able to bond it all together in ...

A low-cost laser which can detect hidden explosives and could lead to improved airport security has been unveiled by reserachers. All Sections. News you can trust since 1754. Sign In.

A new infrared countermeasures system, designed to protect large aircraft like the C-17 from heat-seeking missiles, has for the first time successfully used a laser to scan the inner workings and ...
