Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...

The Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in California, has developed an optical system to precisely measure and control ...

The laser comb solves the longstanding problem of measuring the distribution of particles in the beam across time. Now, physicists can choose sections of the beam to measure and uncover patterns in a ...

Scientists in South Korea have achieved a major milestone in physics – and one pursued by researchers in the field for decades – by generating a record-breaking ultra-high intensity laser. The pulse ...

Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

Ultrashort laser pulses - that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second -have transformed fundamental science, engineering and medicine. Despite this, their ultrashort duration has made ...
