For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

The vacuum ultraviolet region is the area of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between X-rays and visible light. It is ...

Laser-driven hard X-ray generation has emerged as a transformative technique, combining ultrashort, high-intensity laser pulses with solid targets to produce compact, femtosecond-duration X-ray ...

A one-quintillionth-of-a-second lasing breakthrough could lead to next-generation X-ray technologies, improving imaging in medical, materials and quantum science. (Nanowerk News) Once only a part of ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the hottest place on Earth for the briefest of moments during an experiment. Now, it can be one of the brightest places ...

Scientists demonstrated X-ray four-wave mixing to track correlated electron motion, revealing how energy and information move inside atoms and molecules. Much of the behaviour of matter arises not ...

LCLS-II-HE is the second upgrade in as many years for a laser beam in Menlo Park, California, that reveals some of nature's most microscopic mysteries in sharp detail. Reading time 3 minutes A new ...

Lasing is much more difficult at X-ray frequencies than with visible light. The conditions that enable electrons in an atom to stay at sufficiently high energy levels to produce an X-ray laser cannot ...

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the U.S. Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (at Stanford University), and others have created what they describe as “the ...

A newly funded research project combines the theoretical expertise of University of Rochester scientists with the theoretical and experimental capabilities of ELI Beamlines in the Czech Republic.

Much of the behaviour of matter arises not from electrons acting alone, but from the ways they influence each other. From chemical systems to advanced materials, their interactions shape how molecules ...
