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

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

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

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

[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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A frothy breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), using lasers with a silver metal foam that's as light as air, has created the brightest yet X-ray source ever, twice as ...

Jit Ray Chowdhury noticed purple spots on all his photographs after taking a photo of a lidar laser scanning system displayed by San Francisco firm AEye. He says the $1,198 (£930) Sony camera was ...

J. May et al, Thermal energy transport in laser-driven high X-ray conversion efficiency metallic silver nanowire foams, Physical Review E (2025). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.111.015201 ...
