Ice-cold electron beams could pave the way to reducing X-ray free-electron lasers (X-FELs) to a fraction of their current size. Ice-cold electron beams simulated in research at the University of ...

Schematic of a plasma wakefield accelerator using optical laser beams and electron driver, escort, and witness beams for generating bright, coherent X-ray laser beams with attosecond duration and ...

Chinese scientists have developed a portable 2-kilowatt (kW) fiber laser weapon that can operate in extreme temperatures. Reportedly capable of functioning in conditions between -58°F (-50°C) and ...

According to Rafael, a major advantage of its lasers is that they can shoot down enemy rockets and drones much earlier in the threat process. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ new family of lasers, ...

Imagine carrying a device in your pocket that can measure sea level rise with pinpoint accuracy, detect earthquakes hundreds of kilometers away, or even help hunt for elusive dark matter. For decades, ...

The European XFEL is being prepared for scientific operation after a longer break. We were there one last time beforehand.
