"Your dentist's X-ray machine creates an electron beam that is crashed into a heavy metal plate; the electrons in the beam ...

By combining the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser and ultra-light metal foams, researchers at Lawrence Livermore ...

The hard X-ray FEL has come of age. A free-electron laser is not like other lasers. It works by forcing a beam of electrons, travelling at nearly the speed of light, to oscillate in a long ...

Attosecond science, honored with the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, is transforming our understanding of how electrons move in ...

It is called the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). Scientists say the way it shines light on targets will permit, for example, chemical bonds to be filmed in the instant that they are ...

US scientists create the world's brightest X-ray source using metal foam and the NIF laser, with potential applications in ...

GUANGZHOU -- China has launched the construction of a key scientific infrastructure to generate attosecond laser, which will help scientists "see" the ultrafast particles in the microscopic world and ...

[c4r0] steps in this point to bring us his red green blue laser. He dug around inside Blu-ray players and DVD drives until he had a collection of lasers, retractors, and other filters that fit his ...

What are X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers? X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are a revolutionary type of X-ray source that produce ultra-short, highly intense pulses of X-rays. Unlike conventional X-ray ...

A dry material makes a great fire starter, and a soft material lends itself to a sweater. Batteries require materials that ...

While [Micah] want’s to use these Blu-ray drives for laser graffiti, there are a number of other slightly more useful reasons for the build. With a DVD drive, you can hold a red blood cell in ...
