The understanding of complex many-body dynamics in laser-driven polyatomic molecules is crucial for any attempt to steer ...

Researchers have demonstrated an innovative technique for increasing the intensity of lasers. This approach, based on the compression of light pulses, would make it possible to reach a threshold ...

Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of ...

Engineers have developed a new concept for accelerating data transfer in server farms. To this end, the team has applied a quantum-mechanical variable, i.e. the spin. Researchers are optimizing the so ...

"The inventions being honoured this year have revolutionised laser physics," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on awarding the nine million Swedish crown ($1 million) prize. (AP) A trio of ...

Study leader Andrea Alberti from the Institute of Applied Physics at the University of Bonn. (Courtesy: Volker Lannert / University of Bonn) Laser beams are normally invisible when they pass through a ...

Laser beams are usually hard to miss, but a new laser is notable for its lack of light. Steven Cundiff at the University of Colorado in Boulder and his colleagues built the device by modifying a ...

Since the advent of lasers, researchers have strived to build an acoustic equivalent — devices that can amplify and emit sound waves at a single frequency. Kerry Vahala and his group at the California ...

"These multi-target results validate the physics we are scaling in the lab and the ability of USPL effects to rapidly and precisely disrupt sensors," said Dr. Stephen McCahon, Chief Scientist and ...

Applied physics bridges the gap between physics, engineering, and other sciences. While engineers solve well-defined problems, applied physicists focus on applying physics interdisciplinarily. At ...

Oil recovery system The researchers envision that femtosecond laser-treated cork could be used to clean up large-scale marine oil spills. (Courtesy: Yuchun He) New research suggests that laser-treated ...

Engineering physics blends concepts from engineering, physics, and math in an effort to bridge the gap between theoretical science and practical engineering. Engineering physicists focus on research ...
