A single, ultrafast laser pulse has flipped the polarity of a ferromagnet without first heating it to the brink of losing its magnetism, pointing to a new way to write data at extreme speeds with far ...

Students in the class ENGRI 1100: "Lasers and Photonics" engage in hands-on learning and build a laser for an assignment.

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as electroweak decay. Altering the speed with which muons decay into other ...

Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

Strong field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser pulses and matter, a domain where non-linear phenomena such as multiphoton absorption, tunnelling ionisation, and ...

The program will include lectures by leading scientists (30 min.), as well as oral (15 min.) and poster presentations by scientific and pedagogical workers, engineers, graduate students and students ...

STOCKHOLM/LONDON (Reuters) - A trio of American, French and Canadian scientists won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics on Tuesday for breakthroughs in laser technology that have turned light beams into ...

Ultra-intense ultrashort lasers have a wide-ranging scope of applications, encompassing basic physics, national security, industrial service, and health care. In basic physics, such lasers have become ...

For 26-year-old Dani, the quote on her ribcage once meant everything. "It was something about freedom and finding yourself," she says with a smile that edges toward embarrassment. "Now I just want to ...

Strong-field laser physics investigates the interaction between intense laser fields and matter, revealing complex ionization dynamics that extend far beyond traditional perturbative regimes. At these ...
