Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have found a way to flip the magnetic ...

Students in the class ENGRI 1100: "Lasers and Photonics" engage in hands-on learning and build a laser for an assignment.

A single, ultrafast laser pulse has flipped the polarity of a ferromagnet without first heating it to the brink of losing its magnetism, pointing to a new way to write data at extreme speeds with far ...

Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

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 ...

STOCKHOLM/LONDON (Reuters) - A trio of American, French and Canadian scientists won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics on Tuesday for breakthroughs in laser technology that have turned light beams into ...

Focused Energy is developing a commercial system for generating energy from the laser-driven fusion of hydrogen isotopes.

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 ...

Gisela Eckhardt was one of the early pioneers in laser physics, discovering the principle behind the Raman laser in 1962. Valdas Pasiskevicius, Richard Mildren and David Burman tell the largely ...

Strong-field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser fields and matter, revealing complex ionization dynamics that extend far beyond traditional perturbative regimes. At these ...
