AEgIS is one of several experiments at CERN's Antimatter Factory producing and studying antihydrogen atoms with the goal of testing with high precision whether antimatter and matter fall to Earth in ...

The University of Maryland graduate was honored for research exploring electron behavior in intense laser fields.

In day-to-day life, light seems intangible. We walk through it and create and extinguish it with the flip of a switch. But, like matter, light actually carries a little punch—it has momentum. Light ...

The upcoming Boeing F-47 sixth-generation fighter jet is set to push the boundaries of what is possible with modern aerospace engineering. It has onerous requirements that will require challenging ...

Newswise — Experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) require breathtaking precision. Each of the 192 lasers is focused to a width of a few millimeters to ...

The properties of dense helium (He) — which happens to be a principal constituent of giant gas planets like Jupiter — at thermodynamic conditions between those of condensed matter and high-temperature ...

Newswise — Scientists have used a pair of lasers and a supersonic sheet of gas to accelerate electrons to high energies in less than a foot. The development marks a major step forward in laser plasma ...

Researchers set a record by guiding light in 45-meter-long air wave-guides. It's not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But ...

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...
