The researchers’ finding pushes the boundaries of our knowledge about high-power laser pulses, radiation safety and maybe even FLASH radiotherapy, an emerging cancer treatment technique. “Our models ...

So, the Rochester team is developing an idea first proposed in 2020 to create a technique where the lasers in the reactor create their own fuel tablets in the laser blast before implosion and ...

For several years now, scientists have been using lasers to control the properties of matter at extremely fast rates: during one optical cycle of a light wave. But because these changes occur on ...

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

However, the electron sources used in FLASH radiotherapy have similar characteristics to the one we produced by focusing our laser strongly in ambient air. Once the radiation source is better ...

For several decades, researchers have been creating “phonon lasers” that output these particles ... quantum batteries could theoretically recharge in a flash. Now, progress is being made ...

Granular detail: Femtosecond lasers were used to produce this multiphoton microscopy image of lung tissue. (Source: M L Groot, VU Amsterdam/Flash Pathology BV) Fibre-based femtosecond lasers are ...
