Scientists have unlocked a revolutionary way to generate proton beams using high-powered lasers and a simple stream of water.

The effect was visible to the naked eye, followed the contours of the surface it fell on, and changed shape and position with the laser beam. The idea originated from a casual lunch conversation ...

Caltech scientists are developing laser-driven lightsails that could push spacecraft beyond our solar system. Their research ...

Scientists have developed a method for generating fast, bright proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma ...

"The lightsail will travel faster than any previous spacecraft, with potential to eventually open interstellar distances to ...

The findings, published in Optics Letters, mark a crucial step in advancing the understanding of quantum systems and their ...

Powered by laser light, this tiny sail lays the groundwork for future advances in lightsail technology and the potential for ...

A key challenge is that these vibrations are mainly driven by heat from the laser beam, which can mask the direct effect of radiation pressure. Michaeli says the team turned this challenge into an ...

The black and white picture shows a bright laser beam being fired from the Preble during a demonstration at sea to verify and validate the "functionality, performance, and capability" of the ...

Laser hair removal are both very popular methods of body hair removal, but only one is truly permanent. We spoke to experts ...
