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 ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have created the world’s brightest X-ray source, which has ...

Combining a green laser, a blue ray laser, and a red laser, he is able to produce a variety of color including white. There are step by step instructions on how to make a multicolored laser.

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

as he describes his adventures with an overly enthusiastic laser company sales person. Quanta Ray PRO350 with frequency doubling, emitting a 532 nm beam – Sales brochure image from Quanta Ray ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
