On May 16, 1960, Theodore Maiman made history by demonstrating the first functional laser at Hughes Research Laboratories.

Researchers have created tiny bubbles in high-pressure water via intense focused lasers. Under these conditions, the bubbles expand at supersonic speed and push a shockwave consisting of a spherical ...

In this article, we discuss the laser flash diffusivity method’s working principle, applications, its advantages over other methods, and finally its limitations and research directed towards ...

During his time as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada, Simon Vallières was approached by a colleague who had made a puzzling observation.

The power-semiconductor industry is experiencing growth exceeding 7% per year, driven by new applications such as electric cars and new technologies like silicon-carbide (SiC) and gallium-nitride ...

After more than a decade of work, electrons are now flying through a new superconducting accelerator at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, preparing to power the world's ...

[Matt Kane] works at a really cool company in the UK where he recently finished working on the Triggertrap Ada — the highest-performance, most feature packed camera trigger out there. So just for fun, ...

Everyone is familiar with tiny gas bubbles gently rising up in sparkling water. But the bubbles that were created by intense focused lasers in this experiment were ten times smaller and contained ...
